This is a strange and biased poll, that is inherently statistically inaccurate
You have created a poll where one option is inclusive of the other two. That's not how polls work.
Your poll is similar to a poll asking:
Which food is your favorite:
Pizza
Ice Cream
I prefer food when I'm hungry.

Choosing option 3 is true for 99% of the population, does not invalidate 1 or 2, and leads to confusion in choosing options as one of these is not like the others.

99% of people on this board understand that the coaches make the decisions and support them. They would also support either QB, they are BYU fans after all, but many also have at least an opinion on who they would like to see play. Having an opinion does not make you anti-coach.

A far more statistically relevant poll would be:

Who do you think would help the team win?
- Taysom
- Tanner
- Same Results with either
- No opinion.

If you want to use your poll, it should say:
Who do you support most:
- An individual player
- The coaches

The way you are asking the question you're asking two questions at the same time, then using the results to support your opinion. Just my two cents.

I for one am 100% in the support the coaches category. I am now and I was with Riley/Heaps/etc. However IF it were my choice I would love to see how Tanner performs since this offense just isn't getting it done right now. I also would have loved to see Riley benched much sooner, but still supported the coaches decision. That's why this is a statistically invalid poll, your third option is actually inclusive of the other two. Those who support either candidate over the team/coaches are the fanatics. Most others are reasonable, passionate BYU fans who support the team/coaches. But supporting the team doesn't mean you don't have a personal opinion. For example, if the coaches decided that Squally was the new starter, I would support them, but would personally believe that Jamaal is the better option and would want to see him play more. My support of the coaching staff/team is not based off a single decision.
