It’s time to accept that we need to play both QBs

It’s never ideal to be in a situation where you have to rotate QBs, but I think we are there now. This is especially true if Daniels is slowed any by his bruised knee next week. That would make the UT game the ideal time to pull the trigger on this.

I said before the season I expected to have multiple starting QBs and thought we would see some rotation at some point. I was hoping that Daniels might prove me wrong after the State and NM games, but last night really drove home the fact that neither of our QBs look like they will be consistent enough to lead this offense on their own. Some of you are so personally invested in one guy or the other and can’t accept the fact they neither of them may be a consistent answer.

They’ve both shown flashes, like Daniels in the 4th quarter vs FSU and last week, and Nuss last week when he replaced Daniels. But they have also both looked like they don’t belong in the SEC at times, like Daniels last night and Nuss vs Southern. If Howard isn’t going to be an option this season, then at least get the most out of what you have to get this offense on track.

If neither Daniels or Nuss can be consistent if they aren’t locked into a groove, then rotate them through first halves to try and take advantage of their strengths. See who’s playing the best in that game and ride hot hand down the stretch. At least if the staff commits to this now, both of our QBs will be fully prepped and ready for the gameplan each week and both will have equal first team reps in practice and go into every game expecting to share the snaps.
