Sometime early next week, Matt Rhule is set to declare his first starting quarterback for the Baylor Bears. Charlie Brewer, as a true freshman, will likely wear red this season, not green and gold (or white or black or gunmetal). Anu Solomon, a transfer from Arizona with one season of eligibility remaining, and true sophomore Zach Smith, the incumbent — and often over encumbered — starter from last season, are both plausible picks for the position. For the sake of the present and future, Rhule should declare Solomon the starter.
Statistically, Solomon and Smith come out fairly even, Solomon having a predictable edge.
