[QUOTE="danny daniel, post: 61796, member: 1376"] I agree the coach must have the knowledge, experience, game awareness, and people skills to appropriately balance and adjust when playing two QBs. It is a lot easier on the coach to announce a starter and stick with it, even if it is not optimum for team performance. The "preset plan" obviously must have built-in flexibility and this puts a lot more decision-making on coach. I think the one QB mentality is often an easier route for the coach and exposes him to less criticism from fans and press. Coach Dodd was a master of playing the right people at the right time in the right position, including using more than one QB. I specifically remember him bringing in Toppy Vann (replacing the starter Bridgeman) in goal line situations to roll down the line and fall into a hole for the score. For example: I can see Byerly in the red zone being more effective than JT and that being an understanding with coach and the two QBs based on game situation and earned performance. If you strictly want to run the clock I can see Byerly as the QB choice whereas if you need big plays JT is the choice. 'preset plan" [/QUOTE]
