What advantage, if any, is having rotating QBs
Posted by White Tiger on 8/26/14 at 8:12 pm29
I can think of no advantage for the offense. Does it not make it more predictable based on the skill set of the signal caller? How can it keep the opposing defense off balance? It just makes no sense to me.
My take is that CLM does not like what he sees in Jennings passing ability. I cannot believe that he thinks LSU will just line up and blow every other team off the line as its running game amasses more than 300 yds/gm and tilts the TOP way in favor of the Bayou Bengals.
On the other hand, what if the LSU defense is all that? Hmmmm

Less fatigue? That's about all I can think of as an advantage.

If you have 2 qb's, you don't have one

Both QBs do some things well, and need to improve on others. If you can't tell which is 1 and which is 2, put them both out their on the field until it's obvious. This isn't that hard to comprehend.

You take pressure off both guys by letting them know they can screw-up and not get pulled for the game. This preserves Harris's confidence if he's not aces out the gate or makes a critical error. Also allows the QB to prove it on the field, instead of making the call from practice alone.

I think the offensive line will be able to control Wisky, so it might not matter this week. Past that idk man.

Defense has to worry about 2 diff looks... especially if they have diff skill sets...
Thats about it though.

I was coming here to say this. I dont think them rotating in every other series would do any good. But if it was a limited deal where you knew one was the main qb and the other was situational like Leak and Tebow. I could see it being good.

Silly cliche'.
Applies much more to the NFL than college.
Theory is sound, but simply not paractical sometimes.

Hard to get into a rhythm when you keep getting pulled.

Yes, assuming you meant that 2 does not equal 1, truer words were never written...

There are several obvious advantages.
1. If the most talented guy still isn't ready it allows him time to develop while you get the advantage of better QBing while the less talented, but ready, guy plays.
2. True freshman usually don't have the best grasp of the playbook and fundamentals. They get everything straight before the game, but as the game wears on they lose it. It helps to sit them on the bench for a series or two, so they can settle down.
3. Different skill sets force the opponent to spend valuable practice time preparing for each.

To find out which one is better when the lights are on

Come on. You can do better than that...Enumerate at least one advantage. The fact that they were on a championship team may be relevant or it may not. Explain.

I disagree with 1 and 2. These are not advantages for the offense, rather an opportunity for the coach to settle in on one or the other, but at what cost. There is theoretical plausibility to 3, but I do not see this play out in reality. Can you provide some examples?

On #1 - The more talented #2 gets to develop without costing the team games due to his inexperience. By maybe midseason you have the best QB you can possibly have without him having cost you a game. Now, you can say this isn't an advantage in game 1, and I'd agree. But viewed across the entire season it is.
On #2 (or was it 3) - An example would be AJ against Iowa. He did fairly well in the first half by staying within himself, as they say. Late in the game he made that ridiculous floating throw over the middle. Why? All he had to do was throw it away or run it. You leave an inexperienced guy out there long enough and he'll do something stupid.
Oh, and an example for #3? That's easy, Tebow and Leaks.
