What advantage, if any, is having rotating QBs

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.

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.

It must be the 'in' thing this year tho
Posted on 8/26/14 at 9:01 pm to White Tiger
To find out which one is better when the lights are on
Posted on 8/26/14 at 9:33 pm to White Tiger
No advantage..only reason les isn't naming a starter is because they both suck and he's having a hard time picking the lesser of two evils

Prevents the other from transfering. If either one transfers, we will be left with no scholarship QB if the starter goes down.

I can't stand it, but I'm not getting paid $4 million a year to make that decision. I think it prevents momentum, confuses the O, decreases morale, etc. Unless you have two completely different QBs where one guy brings something new to the table (Tebow/Leak) I don't understand it. I guarantee it's failed 10x more than it's succeeded

This Saturday? So Les and Cam can decide who the starter will be for the rest of the season.

None,all it will do is create confusion for these young QB's.
Posted on 8/27/14 at 12:12 pm to White Tiger
The other team has to prepare for different offensive attacks
Posted on 8/27/14 at 2:08 pm to White Tiger
With similar skill-sets it should not be that predictable at first; not until a few games where play-calling patterns can be studied. Both can run and both can make every throw according to the coaches. We'll see. There is one huge, obvious advantage to the dual QB's. If an injury occurs, you've got someone coming in who's already geared into the game-plan rather than a sub who wasn't expecting to see meaningful p.t.
