NT quarterback spot up for grabs

Eagle1855 · August 7, 2006

We have to prob. have a two pronged attack in the beginning. I know everybody hates the 2 quarterback scheme...but it make work if the qbs are night and day like Phillips and Wilson. We have to give all these teams more to worry about...it can't just be Jamario.

the reason you don't hear about teams winning a championship rotating qbs is the fact that the teams are usually not very good. Arizona did a nice job of it last year, but they were still 4-7. There are alot of teams that have used the system over the years..and it's always out of necesity. No qb steps up and proves that they are the next big thing, so you try to win w/ a combination of talents. Stoops said after Bomar was kicked off, 'it's not like he was Jason White coming back off a Heisman'.

I knew someone would ask this and the only answer I have for it is that it got New Mexico St.(7-5) to the SBC championship game against NT in '02. Then it got them beat.

If one can't seperate himself and start the season as the number 1 guy, I just hope that all the QBs get a fair shot to prove themselves against similar competition. It made me very angry when Dickey set Andrew up to fail and started him against top competition early in the season, then brought in Hall against 2nd and 3rd string defenses. If there is going to be a QB rotation to see who can play, rotate series so we can see how they fair against the same defenses.
