Bateman is the logical choice unless one of the younger guys just blows past him and can protect the ball while doing so. People tend to forget that Bateman isn't some scrub we picked up off the walk-on circuit, dude was a 4-star, elite 11 QB and a top 100 player in the country out of high school. He has more pedigree than either Sims or Coker had coming out of HS. He just needs reps and confidence.
Yea, I agree. I think Bateman can absolutely be an adequate QB for us. His big thing was adjusting to the speed of the game and confidence. If he has gotten past both of those then he should be good to go. Doesn't have a huge arm, but he has an SEC adequate arm, and he can run. He will be more prepared than the hastily put together Ole Miss game plan was, too.

I'm fine with Bateman if he becomes the guy. He diff look shell shocked against ole miss, but he obviously wasn't ready. A lot can change over a year. Possibly our smallest arm on the roster, but still enough to throw it down field occasionally.
