Article ..Vols may double up on QBs

[edyeary]

I got to pat myself on the back a little. Predicted this back a ways. Didn't take a genius though.

I think we are good enough to run a two QB system.

Like the 06 Gators we can ride it to a national championship.

This is what came to my mind.

But, it's a rarity that it's a success!

"May" want to let it happen first. I don't see a season of it. One of these guys will primarily play the lions share of snaps imo.

 

[TAF]

Just what you want with a new OC and an already, proven, "challenged" with in-game decision making HC.

NO THANK YOU!

 

[Hairy Vols]

Let's just get really wild and run a 3 QB system!!!!

Success like that is a rarity in itself when u think about it.

My hope is that Jones and staff realize what their best option is talent wise early on and play the best man from the get go. Instead of finding out who the best man is by a default situation late in season.

The biggest knock against Butch that I have is him not playing the right personnel and the right times. This has been a major issue. A coaching flaw. Hopefully this has changed....

 

[IndianapolisVol]

Oh, wow. Butch being indecisive? This never happens.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

I think this is probably leaked propaganda. I think they are very concerned about a transfer once an announcement is made. They should just name someone and let the chips fall rather than risking another Hurd situation.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

QD will take most of it, but I see no reason not to toss JG in situationally or to shake up the D.

 

[fade route]

Dormady will start and hold the job until he costs us a winnable game.

 

[butchna]

Then we throw in JG to throw a costly interception...but look real athletic whilst doing so.

 

[SayNoToJorts]

A two QB system will not work with our fan base. One incomplete pass and the negas/ armchair coaches will be screaming for the other guy right up until that guy has a poor series. Wash rinse repeat until neither QB has any confidence

IMO 2-QB systems are underrated. The 2-QB system works out when:

(1) Both QBs are very good,
(2) The QBs have different skill sets that can create issues for the defense

It doesn't work out when you have two similar mediocre QBs, neither of whom is good enough to be a starter. The majority of times when 2-QB systems have been used, it fell into this category, and that's why 2-QB systems get a bad rep.

There's plenty of examples of 2-QB systems that have worked, though, with Leak-Tebow being obvious, but also Greene-Shockley at UGA, and Ainge-Schaeffer here.

I don't see much of a point of it though if two QBs have a similar skill-set, but it seems like Dormady and Guarantano have different enough skill sets that it could work.

QD had the edge in the spring-- stronger, more accurate, more game-ready. I'm sure JG will play, especially in the first few games, but the coaches will probably go with experience by the time we enter SEC play.

Ainge-Schaeffer worked against UNLV...and never again.

 

[BigOrangeD]

OLine better be really good. They are going to need to run block well and protect very well.

Hope a two QB system we might use doesn't require different line blocking schemes, one seems to be tough enough for our guys up front.

 

[RollerVol]

I like the way we really don't know what will happen with the QB situation...tougher to prepare for...keeping opponents in the dark (and us) is a good thing, but, don't despair...it'll work out...just have a little faith...what else you got...

GO VOLS!

 

[joevol33]

I think it's a stupid idea

If we win using 2 QB's the fan base would love it.

 

[joevol33]

I think it's a great idea

Agreed, mostly speculation at this point.
