Being named the starter doesn't mean much.

The online poll in WI shows a landslide in favor of the new starter

Stave is hurt. Doubt he plays this year. Lost his fingers while working for Johnny Knoxville.

The backup QB or the guy who everyone thinks will be the backup QB is always the fan favorite.

Like LSU, the Wisconsin Badgers have two quarterbacks battling it out for the starting role, and yesterday reports surfaced that one has been given the nod over the other. According to the Journal Sentinel, Tanner McEvoy, who has never played quarterback in a game for the Badgers, will get the start over last year’s starter, Joel Stave. McEvoy is a dual-threat quarterback who had a strong season at Arizona Western Community College before jointing the Badgers last year. He originally joined the team as a quarterback, but was moved to wide receiver and then to safety. After Stave injured his shoulder in last year’s bowl game, McEvoy moved back to quarterback and had a strong spring and fall camp.

I'll throw in my two cents. I don't believe that the the Wisconsin coaches are trying to "screw" with Chief. They named a starter. It is what it is. I can guarantee you that Chief and the D are preparing for both quarterbacks. That's just the way it works.
You always have to prepare for two quarterbacks. If one goes down you have to have a gameplan for the other so you don't get blindsided. What I would assume is that they looked at the Clemson game and watched the incredible pass rush. While I know Wisconsin's OLine is a great run blocking line, Stave spent a lot of time looking at the lights last year. 16 sacks and 34 hurries. If you look at that pass rush in the Clemson game.. It's scary.
Besides. If we load the box that puts DBs and WRs 1 on 1 so with a mobile QB hopefully he could extend the play and be able to get open. But I'm no football coach. Just little league. So I'll shut up now.

While it remains true that Wisconsin offensive lines are more comfortable in the run-blocking game, which was publicly stated following the firing of Mike Markuson, I do not believe that was the sole reason Stave was sacked 16 times last season. One of Stave's biggest criticisms, aside from under throws, was his inability to get rid of the ball. He simply held onto the ball too long.

Could Stave be injured?
FWIW, Joel Stave is not injured.

I think he gives them a better chance against the Tigers. D needs to cause some havoc early on this guy.

When you had only one receiver option in reality (and an occasion one at TE), that tends to happen.
Ofcourse this year you don't have that receiver option.

so how was he beaten out?
Posted on 8/23/14 at 10:46 pm to geauxaddai
He also was featured as a wideout and safety hope he's ready for this lsu speed

McEvoy was on the depth chart at QB under Spurrier at USCe his freshman year but had an off-the-field issue and transferred to Arizona Western CC where he played safety and wide-out.
Pretty highly touted coming out of a HS as a QB/WR - versatile athlete. He was definitely a contributor in our defensive backfield last year - Andersen recruited him specifically for QB, though.
Many Badger fans wanted to see McEvoy at wideout this year due to the graduation of UW's top four reception leaders, but the coaching staff seems pleased with the development of some of the younger WR's. That being said, GA seems to think a dual-threat makes the most sense considering the loss of Abbrederis (WR)and Pedersen(TE) in particular. Our O-line should be solid this year, but drops/mis-throws and LSU's pass-rushing ability screams breakdown QB scrambles to me.
Stave will almost certainly get a few series' against LSU. Wisconsin's identity will always be the power run game - McEvoy at QB will not signal a change in offensive scheme.
FWIW, Summer Practice reports seemed to give the edge to Stave in terms of throwing production. McEvoy has generally been less consistent with his arm, and his HS vids show a noticeable hitch in his delivery. There is a small possibility true freshman D.J. Gillins makes an appearance under center. He's shown the most potential of any of the QB's thru Summer camp and comes in as a highly rated recruit but obviously lacks experience and consistency as a game manager + he definitely needs to put on considerable weight to hold up as a starting QB at the D1 level.
Should be a good game - been anticipating this one for ages, seemingly.

What? No, he did not.

What fans? There has been zero indication that McEvoy would have ever been a receiver in 2014.

Completely different offense. No point in comparisons to Kevin Sumlin's spread.
