On Monday, we asked readers on Facebook: "Who should start for ASU at QB vs. Washington, assuming that Taylor Kelly is healthy enough to go?"

We've received a wide variety of responses. Here are some that stand out:

Andy Laguna: "Bunch of after the fact critics.....tough choice. Go Kelly, see what he does, if it's clear he's not up to snuff, put Berco back in. Besides, all things being fairly equal on q backs, Kelly is graduating this year, Berco is going to have an outstanding team to lead next year. The D gets better every game, and the offense will remain potent, especially with the recruiting Graham does. The futures so bright, I've gotta wear shades!"

Kevin Kiang: "Taylor Bercovici obviously"

Eric C. Brown: "Bercovici. I love Kelly, but Bercovici has guided the team for the past month and we've beaten a couple of very good teams in the process. We've got a good thing going. No need to bring in a guy overcoming an injury who hasn't played in over a month (and struggled against weak opponents his first three games). Bercovici is a much better passer and that will open up the running game. Either way, we'll be fine. I just want W's. I wouldn't want to make any changes a week after playing one of our most complete games in years."

Richard Wood: "Berco is the better pure passer, Kelly is the better QB. Kelly's mobility opens up the entire playbook for ASU. If Kelly is 100% you play him if not, Berco should play."

Jon O'Steen: "Berco is better, and it's not even close. But since Coach Graham won't admit he made the wrong choice three years ago, we'll have to wait for 2015."

Andrew Hicks: "Berco's done an amazing job filling in at QB but Kelly has earned the role and people forget how much of a threat TK is in there. I'll welcome Kelly back in a heartbeat knowing Berco will be waiting in the wings should we need him. I'm also looking forward to Berco coming on strong next year too."

Brandon Leuck: "Glad it's not my choice"

Mario Murillo: "Kelly has done nothing to lose the job. He gives us a better option running the ball too. With berco nobody is biting on the QB keeper. He's not a threat. Kelly is."

Sean Sovereign: "I understand why TK is starting but I would kind of like to see Berco keep the job. Hes a better overall qb. Kelly is a great runner and a good passer 15 yards and in. Berco sees the whole field and is a much better deep passer. He has the ability to get the ball to more receivers. Kelly has the tendency to look for Strong and/or DJ then run. Either way this is a dangerous game coming up."

Jeff Adams: "Tough choice. I think I still go with Taylor, ASU's All-time passing % leader. I predicted 2 years ago that I thought he would win the QB battle when he was in 3rd position. And he did little to disappoint the past couple yrs. And in limited action Berco looked shaky this yr.... But I'll be the 1st to admit this Berco kid has REALLY come on & impressed me. To the pt where I have to admit it is almost an even matchup. If Taylor is not ready, then I say play Berco. I love both these guys. Best duo at QB we maybe ever had..."
