You're plucking a few examples (and Indiana ISN'T a great example).


Indiana is a great example. Actually try to sit down and watch other football than just SEC. One guy would play bad or mediocre in the game, and then the other guy would come in and light it up. They did this a lot last year. You don't use two QBs just for the hell of it. You use it because it is beneficial in not only becoming more dynamic, but teams have to game plan for both, and you do anything to get the win.

I've been watching college football for 5 decades, and in the vast majority of cases, a two QB system doesn't work. Sure, there are examples where it's worked, but overall, it doesn't.


Provide me with real examples. I've given you 5 in 3 years, and by your claim, you could easily give me 50. I'll settle for 15 though.

Plus, let's be on the same page. A "2 QB system" means that two QBs actually play a good bit throughout a game and using both of them is part of the game plan. It's not a "2 QB system" when one QB replaces the other due to injury or bad play, etc.


If you are using two QBs who each get a good amount of snaps over several games, no matter what else, that is a two QB system. Don't give me this asinine idea about he was playing bad, so they switched QBs, and that doesn't count. Well dumbass, if he had to do this in 5, 6, 7+ games, ummm that's using 2 QBs to get the job done. I mean seriously guy a coach likes what both bring to the table, and if one is having a bad day, maybe the other won't.

quote:

I wouldn't say that JJ/JL was a 2 QB system. Yes, both played, but JL started due to JJ's suspension and JJ got back as a starter after JL failed against Bama. So not really a true "2 QB" system.


After JJ got back off suspension, him and Lee pretty much split reps at QB sometimes 70/30 other times 60/40 up until the game after Bama.

The essence of a two QB system is utilizing both to get the win. Doesn't matter if one played bad or mediocre and the other lit it up, they were both used a good amount to get the win. Why do you not understand that?

If one guy was head and shoulders better than the other in any QB system, they wouldn't run it.
