Machiavelli 3rd String
It's actually really simple.
You and I disconnect because you're trying to say you can support the coaches, but still want a different QB to start. I'm not trying to imply that if you want Mangum to start, you aren't supportive of the team. This is a poll about who you WANT to start at QB. Option #3 basically means you're happy with either QB.

Do you think Taysom Hill should start, regardless of what the coaches think?
Do you think Tanner Mangum should start, regardless of what the coaches think?
Do you think the coaches will select the best QB, so you aren't concerned about who is starting? In this scenario, you're happy that Taysom is starting now. In this scenario, you'll also be happy if Tanner starts next game.

All three scenarios are isolated and independent of each other. If you skim through some of the recent threads on this topic, you'll see that certain people are vehemently calling for Tanner Mangum to get the start, which clearly does not fit option #1 (Taysom should start) and also doesnt fit option #3 (coaches believe Taysom should start, so they aren't starting Tanner).

Other are making arguments for why Taysom is the best QB to start. These are the people that could fit in either option #1 or option #3. This could be a valid argument, although it looks like it wouldnt skew the results too much. The difference between option #1 and option #3 is that those who voted for #1 would be upset if Mangum started next game. Option #3 folks are happy either way.

Not sure about you, but I think it's pretty clear that the vast majority of CB is happy with the current situation. It's just a vocal minority sparking a debate that looks like it's way bigger than it actually is.
