There are no stats to back that up. So to say he's so much better is a crazy take when we've never seen the guy take a snap at this level. Kind of like when people were anointing Tyler Russell the savior back in 2009-2011. Russell was a fine QB but he was never beating out Relf and couldn't beat out Dak when Dak was still learning how to play QB.

And before people jump down my throat saying I'm comparing Kamario Taylor to Tyler Russell, I'm not. I'm saying the hype that is around him right now, from our fan base, without ever taking a college snap is similar to when Russell was coming in.
Rusell was probably the first legit QB talent that we had on campus in many of these younger dudes lifetimes. And I'm just talking skill at throwing the football. Unfortunately for Tyler, he just didn't fit in Mullen's scheme. He could have shattered the MSU record books if he had come along in 2000.
