Commit to playing them both. Nothing wrong with giving them alternate series, at least for a half.

I'm with you. Except I would do it every other series with TJ getting the first two.

Playing both is scrapped under the following (i.e. if TJ is playing well):
A) His throw are on target
B) He's not bailing out of pocket w/o real pressure AND not hurrying throws (not late, not too early- in rhythm w/receivers).
C) He's spotting pressure most of the time and adjusting accordingly, i.e. he's got a feel for what he's looking at.

If those aren't happening, we're going to have to manufacture confusion for Odom by constantly changing looks instead of our preferred "we're ready to use our reads to counter anything you do".

TJ gets the benefit of the doubt simply because he's displayed more accuracy and a better grasp of our normal (i.e. the one run in practice) offense in a game situation.

Odom runs a zone. That means picking them apart is going to be the order of the day. Not "establishing the run". With a zone you have all 11 guys looking at the backfield. That makes running the ball that much more difficult, RPO more effective, and their LBs (some really good ones) are the keys more than the S. Hence my lean towards the QB with the best accuracy and chemistry with the WRs.
