re: What advantage, if any, is having rotating QBs

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.

I thank you for a thoughtful reply. I would wait for game 2 to get the sub experience. That does not square with what CLM did with Mett during his first year.
My main point is that the offensive unit in football is the most coordinated and synchronized of any unit/team in sports. It must run with a watch-like precision which begins and not infrequently ends with the QB. It seems that again LSU is weak in the most critical position. We'll see what happens in a few days.

less of an ability to predict cadence? but even then after 8-10 snaps for each guy they could start seeing some patterns
