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

Florida would have won with just tebow starting.

Won what? The '06 natty says LOL.
'07 LSU won using 2QBs, unless you have some snap % to qualify. RP contributed over 900yds on about 125 snaps.

Not champs, but UF also used late 90s, '97 loss to LSU, IIRC.
Michigan used 2QBs with Tom Brady.
tOSU used it a lot in mid-90s.

Show me a 2 QB system that has won a national championship. The 5 examples you gave are teams that are not national power houses looking for a national championship on a yearly basis. I know the Florida deal but I think Florida would have won with just tebow starting. Are you really comparing Indiana football to LSU football.

Are you a moron? It is more than just the QBs that play the game.

17th in the country in passing
8th in passing TDs
9th in total offense
16th in scoring offense
30th in running

They did that with 2 and 3 star players. They did that in the Big 10, not some cupcake AAC, CUSA, MAC type conference. They have considerably less talent than LSU, are ahead in every major statistical offensive category other than rushing, but they still finished only one spot behind LSU in that.

The reason why they were so bad, was that not only did they lose their dynamite RB nine games in (had over 950 yards and 12 TDs in rushing alone), but their defense was utterly atrocious.

They were ranked

115th in scoring defense
117th in rush defense
120th in pass defense
123rd in total defense.

While they were one of the best offenses in the nation, under a dual QB system no less, they were also one of the worst defenses in the nation.

You guys honestly need to keep up on more than just SEC football.

2qb system means you do not have one QB you can depend on to get the job done.

BINGO GENIUS!!! I basically said that. There is no advantage of a two QB system unless a dual threat aids the pocket passer starter in making the team more dynamic. Other than that, a 2 QB system is used when one guy has not established himself over the other.

What I was arguing was the fact that it has proven to work successfully. Why in the fudge would you bring shite about championships and what not when that is a team duty? I'm talking strictly on the success of the QB position. I would have loved to have a Tre Roberson Nate Sudfield problem here at LSU. It works itself out after a year, so the 2 QB is only a bandaid.

it's not as unsuccessful as many people believe, because if it was, I would have gotten at least 100 examples by now.
