Who starts at QB next season?
Personally, I'm hoping for Houston. He appears to have the best tools. While phillips has done a nice job filling in for Stave he is definitely limited in the passing game.
I think the job will be Stave's to lose but he has to get better than he was this year or I think he will be unseated.

Re: Who starts at QB next season?
A huge part of the decision process will what offense Andersen and his staff decide to put in. Any type of read option and Stave appears to be a distant third and, perhaps a strong candidate to transfer.

Agree with D3. If read-option is the offense then Houston has the tools to run it. Does Stewart fit into UW's future then?

Re: Who starts at QB next season?
I think there may be a small package of zone read but I somewhat doubt the offense is predicated on it. If you listened to Andersen talk about it he basically said he would use it as a tool to make the defense think about it. I doubt something that he will likely run 5 times per game is going to dictate his QB choice. Besides Stave did a nice job of rolling out the the pocket I don't think he's as slow as people think. He's just so tall that he looks like he lumbers when he runs. |

He's been pretty clear about the fact that he'll use what personel he has. If Stewart is a stud pocket passer like we think he will be I'm sure he'll utilize his strenghts. |

Re: Who starts at QB next season?
I sure hope we don't use the read option spread as our base offense. As a package, like the Barge, fine.
Watching the Badgers is refreshing compared to seemingly every other team that runs the spread offense (and most do it poorly).
Watching Oregon is fireworks. Watching Purdue/Minnesota/Indiana/Northwestern/Miss St, etc...is vomit-inducing.

Re: Who starts at QB next season?
There's no way in hell the next QB is picked based on how well he runs the option. Literally zero. Bart Houston will be the QB next year and I'm pretty jazzed about it.

Re: Who starts at QB next season?
It'll just be nice to go into the season with some experience at QB. Both Stave and Phillips got some big game experience this year, and hopefully Houston can push them both too.
I think O'Brien will transfer.

I think O'Brien will transfer. Why? To get playing time? He's not going to play in the NFL and a graduate degree (which he's getting free) from UW is his best option at making a good living in the future. |

Stave is the better athlete.
After a huge Rose Bowl by Phillips, let's vote again.

Again, would be stunned if Houston starts but happy as that means he's crazy good.

I'm hoping for Stave, and think it will be him. He laid a solid foundation.

Re: Who starts at QB next season?
Yes, to get some playing time. That's why he transferred in the first place. I have no idea what his grades are like but he could transfer to a good academic school and play right away. --------------------------------------------- --- LennonSt wrote: Ph3431 wrote: It'll just be nice to go into the season with some experience at QB.

Re: Who starts at QB next season?
If Bielema was back I would be more inclined to say Stave. With a new offense and terminology going in I think whoever is the most talented will start and I think that will be Houston.

Watching some of his high school tapes he had a better arm as a high school senior than anyone else on this years team. Stave included. I know there is a great deal more than that to playing QB at the college level but if he is healthy he flat out has the best arm on the squad and it's not even close.

RE: Who starts at QB next season?
Look at what russ is doing with the hawks read option could be a very interesting offense if houston can run it that way given its rw but its still quite impressive

RE: Who starts at QB next season?
With GA calling the shots, Houston could be the front runner, bc I hear he has the best arm and is more mobile then Stave. I would say it comes down to those 2 and I'm fine with either one, both are young and talented
Bo Ryan's offense is officially dead and has been figured out by the B1G. The only way he can continue to coach it is if he significantly upgrades the players.-George2k5 |

The coaches have already made comments during bowl practices that he's a big time talent. So yes.

Re: Who starts at QB next season?
It helps that he also looks far more accurate as a highs school qb than any of our current qb's.

Why has no one mentioned Phillips. Best skillset to run read option. Has growing confidence of team.

Considering Houston had a lower completion percentage playing against 16 and 17 year olds than Stave did in college, not sure that holds water.

I think the job will be Stave's to lose but he has to get better than he was this year or I think he will be unseated. The question is really sort of immaterial. The real point is not who starts the season as QB but who ends it as QB and who plays most of the season as QB. I think that if CP has a good Rose Bowl; he starts. I assume Stave will also get playing time but if Houston is as good as billed, expect him to take over as QB sometime during the year. Remember, QB's get injured frequently and it's good we have 3 options.

Re: Who starts at QB next season?
I think with all new coaches next year it will be wide open. It should be!
The best guy starts. My money is that Houston and his passing abilility will win out.
I will support the guy that gives us the best opportunity to win.

Big Eddy says it 100% spot on, with minimal waste of space.

RE: Who starts at QB next season?
Knowing what we know today, Phillips is the most likely starter next season. Speculating on a lot of unknowns, the likelihood of being named the starter would go something like this:
1a. Phillips
1b. Stave
3. O'Brien
4. Houston
I would not count-out O'Brien just yet. He will get an honest chance with a new coaching staff. We have no idea who the OC and QB coach(es) will be. We have no idea how Phillips performs in the Rose Bowl (yes, that will count a great deal).

Re: Who starts at QB next season?
Phillips, based on how he has become a leader of this team, has the inside tract to continue as starting QB. Too many of us fans discount or forget the leadership factor in being a successful QB. Should Wisconsin win the Rose Bowl he will almost certainly cement his starting position.
I believe this with the full knowledge that Phillips is the least-skilled passer among the team's QBs. If you go back to the Alvarez years, Samuel and Bollinger were not the best passers on the team but they were great leaders, each with a Rose Bowl victory and with a record-setting running back lined up behind them.
