I personally would like to revisit a 2007 offense where one of our mobile QB comes in for a few plays in drives. The key is that it cannot be predictable. WareCat didn't quite do it for me...especially since it sucked.

Mett is a great QB, but he is a statue. I just think some of these dual threat QBs that we recruited could have a lot to offer to change the pace. Maybe it would have jump started the offense earlier in the season.

I know, original topic.

Would playing a less talented mobile quarterback make Mett any less of a statue?

In 2007, we used 2 QBs because both QBs had too much talent to sit on the bench.

In the years following we used 2 QBs because neither QB was talented enough to stay on the field full time.

Mett is talented enough to stay out there.

Yeah, having a running QB come in occasionally would have helped the WRs hold on the football and Mett make more accurate throws for the first few games.

As I understand it, Bolden was injured in practice and lost for the season. That's 3rd hand but still.

As for the rest of your post, please find some lighter fluid & a match. Douse yourself in said fluid, then utilieze said match.

How is Alabama's 2 qb system working? Georgia's? Notre Dame's?

Just what we need. Another fricking QB controversy.

Les Miles has totally brainwashed some of you into thinking the a quarterbacks "feet" are a necessary asset. Just because Jordan Jefferson couldn't pass the ball, and the best chance at a first down with him was to let the receivers run routes, and then have the qb tuck and run, doesn't mean that it should always be the case. The only teams that need a running quarterback are the spread option, or triple option teams. Les Miles does not run that type of offense. If he did, Russell Shepard should have been our qb from day 1.

No. Nothing wrong with the 2 QB system, when you have a proper scheme and a clear cut starter. The problem during Lee/Jefferson is that we couldn't figure out which QB was better.

I really have no problems with running a 2 QB system as long as it doesn't cause confusion with who the starting QB is. In fact, I really wouldn't mind seeing a 2 QB system in this offense, it might add more balance and give the defense more to prepare for.

those two quotes are amazingly accurate.

Having a QB that can stay in the pocket, or tuck and run, or tuck and run and also pass when someone gets open,would be a real detriment, huh? Like the detriment that Johnny Football is, huh?
