Sadly to say, CBJ does not know how to change his offense that he has been running since high school. That being the case, he has NO CLUE how to win with Dormady! He may start Dormady, but watch what happens with our clueless coach!

Lmao, so our offense was the problem last year? We didn't score enough points?

Won't happen! Jones does this all the time. He would not reveal this before fall camp even took place.

And JG has looked better in a lot of practices. That isn't really a good point to try to prove one is better. JG looked about just as good in the scrimmage. I don't know how you think someone who is neck and neck with a player that is younger and less experienced is clearly the better option. We haven't seen either player face real competition. When the lights come on the better player will prove himself.

To say its not close is stupid. They are close or we wouldn't be having the discussion. You think Butch would play two qbs when he is on the hottest seat in the SEC if they weren't neck and neck? Why would he risk playing two qbs if one was sooo much better?:crazy:

We have seen Dormady versus real competition...there are stats to back it up...

Sure, it may be a fairly close competition at this point...but, not nearly as close as you want it to be...

If one of the two qbs doesn't win the job before the first game, I think it makes complete sense to split playing time for the first couple games so a more informed decision can be made. However, I think you eventually have to name a starter. Some keep throwing out the Florida comparison, but that's not a good comparison. We don't have a Tebow sitting on the bench that can pick up a 3rd or 4th and short at will.

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

What system will work with our fanbase?

I don't like a 2 QB system,it will be fairly easy to see which one is in for a pass or the run offense,hopefully one will shine early and be named the starter

Though I respect conventional wisdom in regards to the two qb system, I do want to see both of them get their shot on the field.

When Worley was finished for the season in 14, Peterman and Dobbs played for the starting role against Bama. It took a few series for Dobbs to win the starting job. It took Ainge about 2-3 games to win the job outright. Took a few games for Manning to secure it out right. It also took Shuler a few games to win it against Colquett.

I don't know how any one can consider those competitions any thing other than successes. That what this should be, a competition. I don't think any of those previous example should be call two qb systems. One system, one job and one of these two guys are going to win it.

My emphasis would be that you win it when you win it. If you are a competitor (and that is what your looking for) then that's what the guys should live for. What you don't want is to be perceived as awarding the starting job to one of the two, which might invite descension on your team.

While I agree with much of this in merit.... On a longer timeline, this all makes sense.

The problem for butch is he may not have that. In theory, if he makes the wrong decision it could cost him his job.

Bad timing to have, actually, a good problem.

Probably. But I'll be a little surprised at this point if we don't see a dual qb system early on at this point.

Unless one has been goofing off, they are both so good that one can pull away from the other in non game action. What happens when the lights come on in Ga? That will decide who's team this is.

I want them both to ball out and force CBJ to play both the whole year with book end trips to Atlanta.

Competition is a good thing.

But so its continuity, leadership, and chemistry....I think the one that has more of those things will be the guy.

Gut says that will be qd.

I hope the one that has the most of all that can read a defense at SEC speed. We could run 2QBs all year and never know which one is better. The way Saban talked about his young defense I'm not so sure they will be good enough to get beat by us twice this year. The one chance could be all we get this year. Due to their poor play!

Not sure this is thread worthy but here goes. When I heard CBJ mention they may use a 2 QB system it made me wonder. A couple of reasons crossed my mind:

CBJ wants to use a 2 QB system so the other QB doesn't get mad and wants to transfer. i.e. Dormady has shown incredible maturity waiting his turn and probably deserves the start but JG is supremely talented and may not want to wait 1 or 2 years to get the nod. If JG wins the spot Dormady will never see the field if JG plays well. I doubt he would stay. He is too talented.

CBJ truly believes that the system would work even though it has rarely worked in the past for other teams.
I personally don't like the 2 QB system. It's hard for an offense to get in a flow especially if one QB is right handed throwing and the other left handed.

What is Volnation's opinion? Do you think one transfers if a starter is named? Are you a fan of the 2 QB system? :dunno:

Eric Ainge and Brent Schafer....10-3 it can work with the surrounding cast and improved ol play. Just need to hold up at RB. Kelly Runs hard enough to make this work.

It can work if you leave the quarterback in if he is moving the ball.
