Hi guys, first time poster, long time fan.
For me, I would rather play with Tanner. From the moment he stepped on the field he involved more players than Taysom, in my opinion. Taysom had a bad habit of focusing on "his guy", or breaking out for a run. Tanner consistently threw to multiple receivers and involved the entire offense. That is why when Taysom goes down, we were devastated - because the offense was all about Taysom. It was the same with Luke Staley when he went down.
For me, I would rather have a distributor and QB, someone who gets the whole team involved so that BYU doesn't become predictable or single faceted. Don't get me wrong, Taysom is an elite player, but if you were a wide receiver, who would you rather play with? This is just my opinion, of course and has no bearing on what actually happens.
Go Cougs!
