[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 629409, member: 2299"] Generally speaking rotating QBs is a bad idea. In our case we only have bad choices. Oliver is a dynamic player but he isn't a QB and can't do the things we need our QB to do, and almost certainly won't develop them. We could probably play him, go extremely rush heavy, and we might end up 3-9 for the efforts, but it's really just putting off the problem for a year and considering this year is going to be bad no matter what it doesn't make sense. We need to take as many lumps as we can this year, not push them off until next year. If LJ was a tr FR coming out of highschool things may have been different, but he isn't. He's spent the last 3 years in a different offense that did nothing to prepare him for what he is being asked to do and he just isn't the same athlete as he was before the injury. The best thing about Graham right now is we haven't really seen him. It feels a lot like how people were talking about LJ over the summer though. Most likely he isn't ready to start and throwing him into the fire could just hurt his development more than help. Same can probably said about Yates. There isn't a good choice to be made here. Some our probably better than others, but that doesn't make them good. IMO, if healthy, Graham should be the QB for the next 5 games and have a chance to really show what he is got. Mix in some wildcat stuff with Oliver but otherwise continue transitioning him to his other roles. If Graham shows promise during those 5 games, then have him finish the season. If not, put in Yates for the last 4 and keep his redshirt but get a feel for how he does in a game scenarios. We have to have a good idea of where we stand with QBs going into the spring. We also need to not burn Yate's redshirt because even if he's the QB of the future he won't make a significant impact on the outcome of this year's games, and a potential 5th year is of more value.
