We're making two assumptions with the selection of the No. 4 offensive weapon for the Badgers—Joel Stave will beat out Curt Phillips, and he will be able to hold off junior college recruit Tanner McEvoy this summer.
Regardless of who wins the job come the start of the season, they would likely fall into this slot. While McEvoy appears to offer the Badgers the best dual-threat option under center, there are still plenty of questions regarding how he will perform at the FBS level.
We've seen what Stave can do, and had he avoided a broken collarbone in late October last season, there would be little doubt that he would be the starting quarterback in 2013. His performance in the spring game indicated that he would be a better fit than sixth-year senior Curt Phillips despite lacking the mobility Andersen would like to see at quarterback.
Last season, Stave completed 58.8 percent of his passes for 1,104 yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions, and Wisconsin won every game that he completed. He possesses a big arm, has a calming influence on the offense and simply knows how to find a way to win.
