Harnish - Great runner/great passer = great overall
Lynch - Elite runner/good passer = great overall
Hare - very good runner/very good passer = very good overall
Maddie - Great runner/good passer = very good overall
Childers - average runner/average passer = average overall

I'll take a turn.

Harnish - Very good runner/very good passer
Lynch - Great runner/good passer
Hare - Very good runner/very good passer
Maddie - Good runner/fair passer
Santa - Fair runner/good passer
Childers - Fair runner/fair passer

So, pretty much no matter how you look at it Childers has been our weakest QB since the Harnish Jr. & Sr. years. While the argument can be made Childers was held back by coaching, Hare, Maddie and Santa had the same HC. Based on Bowers past you would have to call him a very good passer and a fair runner. I would think Bowers looked as our O and saw a huge need for an upgrade at QB that he felt he could immediately supply, and I would think there was some serious conversations between Bowers and Hammock and company about his potential to be the starter. Unless Bowers does not live up to his hype, I do not see how he is not the starter for the opener.
