No

There are multiple ways to do the same thing. Ultimately there will be a starter. Gripping about it because they are going about it the wrong way is just dumb.

My guess is they want Tanner to feel pressure so he doesn't feel entitled or complacent. If someone beats him out then that's fine too.

Ok. My guess - it will be Mangum. They're keeping it from AZ on purpose

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

I think the coaches want whoever wins the job to command the respect of the team

Most seniors with experience will start over a true freshman, according to logic

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

I can agree with all that. Just wouldn't call those years serious issues.

If the said senior earned the job. TM has obviously not earned it yet

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

KS is the one that started that rumor in an interview to keep the heat off him.

2015: Did well - for freshmen, 2016: Taysom was QB, 2017: Offense was terrible

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

I disagree. Usually a senior who has started three years would be the clear cut
