Please pick ONE. Rotations prohibit development of position and we end up with mediocre results

Reading between the lines it looks it will be Ely, but it's still very early.

Here's a link to the stories on BCSN

Once again -- if you have three qbs you have no qb.

A former nfl o-lineman was talking about this one day on the radio. He said that multiple qbs were terrible for rhythm and the linemen hated it. Each qb has his own cadence and rhythm and the rhythm is what makes the offense go. You get a different guy in there every other series and there's just no consistent rhythm.

Cue the people who will say we have had two qbs put up gaudy stats. Well, you can do a lot against garbage competition that you can't against good teams.

We had 1 QB last year, I'm sure we'll have 1 this year.

The only reason it made sense to rotate a few years ago was because both had significant deficiencies that were, to some degree, made up for by the other's strengths. At least that's how I saw it.

That being said, in situations where we have big leads in the 4th I think it makes good sense to give the backups some PT.

True re: deficiencies. Dantin didn't have Owens' arm strength and Owens couldn't come close to matching Dantin's hair. NOBODY came close to matching Dantin's hair. Hopefully, one guy this year will have both the hair and the arm to start.

Ely needs to ditch that cheesy looking 'stache and goatee. He looks like a banking consultant. We need someone who can get the job done and not be the guy who tells someone else how to get the job done.... lol. He does look like a guy that has confidence though..
