Why have so many people been of the opinion that Tanner is going to be the starter over a 100% healthy Taysom? Taysom is an incredibly dynamic athlete, probably the most diverse athlete BYU has had since Luke Staley. Sitake said when he got hired that Taysom was THE MOST important recruit and he badly wanted him to stick around for his final season. Why on earth would Sitake want Taysom to come back to just ride the bench? And better yet, why would TAYSOM want to come back if he'd be the underdog fighting to get playing time? His starting spot at Michigan and Virginia would have been all but guaranteed, yet he came back to BYU.

I see no logical explanation as to why Tanner would start over Taysom, assuming his health isn't a factor. As good as Tanner is now and as good as he can be, Taysom is still the best QB we have on our team. I've continually heard local sports radio guys talk about the upcoming season as though Tanner would be the presumed starter, and almost every time I hear them ask interviewees the question of Taysom vs. Tanner they'll get a response that claims Taysom should get the starting nod. No duh! He's Taysom freaking Hill.

Anyway, just thought I'd give a mini-rant on this topic that has become a bit of a pet peeve of mine. It's time for bed. Good night.
