Again my point....who holds  OHIO's alltime pass completion record????? just answer the question and you'll answer the question who should be the starting QB...

While that question is relative, it isn't the only question that needs to be asked. For example, one needs to know, how Boo's arm strength compares to his strength when he set that record. In the end it comes down to a question of which QB gives them a better chance of winning. I don't know the answer to that.

Solich does seem to keep defending Bates, but at the same time, he also made the point that Boo's arm strength seems to be returning. If that's the case, I think it will be hard to keep him out, especially considering the receivers we have. I think eventually we'll get to the scenario a lot of people thought we'd have, where Boo starts, but we see some of Bates, primarily in a wildcat formation. But that's all dependent on Boo getting completely healthy and being able to throw like his old self. I've got a feeling Boo will see action against Marshall, possibly as the starter, which is good, because Marshall has been horrible at defending the pass.

Boo threw 2 or 3 balls with sufficient zip on 'em about 25 yards downfield against columbus.  He did have at least one toss--a dump off to a running back or receiver in the flat--which wasn't well thrown.

I wonder if he's fine when can set his feet and get the body behind it but not quite so proficient when he throws while on the run, having to use pure arm strength 'cause can't get feets set.

Bates, will be and should be the QB. Bates is a build for the future. We will have him for multiple years just like Theo Scott was before he got hurt. Having Bates take his lumps this year will only make us better next season. There is no coincidence that our last "down" year was when Theo was hurt and Boo played the entire season (2008). Stick with Bates and don't be shy about it. Boo is gone after this year, what does it help to leave him in? I'd rather have a mediocre season this year to build for the next two plus seasons with Bates.
Example: Look at Georgia last year. Mark Richt stuck with Senior Joe Cox out of loyalty and look what it got them? A mediocre season (by their standards) and now you have a rookie starting QB (Aaron Murray) who has to learn on the fly. You only got one year out of Cox, why not put in the young kid and let them get their lumps out of the way early? Bates, Bates, Bates all signs point to him.
