I’m starting to lean this way after thinking all last week it had to be Wilson. It could go either way

You thought there was a serious issue in 2013 when Taysom was healthy all year?

Yes, this experienced senior is competing for a job; not a confidence builder

Neither of those two are going to keep Arizona guessing. They
