How does Urban decide on QB?

[Deleted]

Depending on which one, it will determine how the O is run? So does he decide what type of O he wants and pick by that or decide which QB is better and run that O?

Does Braxton's ability to play WR effect his decision too?

I think it will come down to who he thinks is making the better reads and who has shown the most progress from last year. Cardale needed more touch on some his passes and JT needed to release the ball a little quicker to stop the blitz from being effective against him. They both seems to be working really hard and have the right attitude about the competition between them, so it will probably come down to very small technical differences between then.

[WANG]

My guess it is whomever runs the offense best. While I think that JTB is a better fit for what Meyer LIKES to run, if Meyer thinks changes can be implemented and have the offense run better with Jones, then it will be Jones.

But...it's gonna be JTB

Sounding more and more like we're in for seeing plenty of both.

So do defensive coordinators. That's probably why Urban isn't showing his hand yet and why he thinks using them both is the way to go.

How do you pick out a dress for a party? You way the factors, which one looks the best at that given time, which one fits best and does it make you look your best?

Similar to football...

In terms of the two qb system...i don't mind it as long as the ball chains keep moving. If it doesn't, ditch it.

They are both very athletic weapons. Just like any other weapon that can contribute, I expect to see them on the field. I trust Urban knows what he's doing.

[WANG]

I do NOT like the idea of a 2 QB system, unless one of them is used sparingly, a la Tebow/Leak.

Leak took at LEAST 450 snaps (his rush and pass total, that doesn't count for RB run plays where he was in) to Tebow's 120. A ratio like that I am fine with, anything more balanced could be off putting for the team.

[socaljd3]

I look at it this way...game day, if you're not starting you have a different mindset. Yes, there's a chance you'll play, but also a chance you won't. If going into it you know you're coming in 2nd quarter, 2nd series, 2nd half...whatever, you're on your toes, you have a kick in your step and you're focused differently than not...

I like it, keeps them sharp mentally...now, if it doesn't work, change it immediately.

Not just off putting, but it means time is being split between both QBs portion of the game plan vs focusing on a singular game plan.

It is also a chump way out of making a decision.

I don't see it as chump at all. Just a way of utilizing the weapons on the team that can be valuable to its success.

We can all have our opinions, but I trust Urban's more than any of ours...and he knows these guys better than any of us. I'd be ok either way of doing it...that's the beauty of this. There's no easy answer, there really isn't a wrong or right answer, but whatever they come up with is their way of putting them in the best position to win games.

yep... the guy just won us a very unexpected NC against incredible adversity. Let's give him a little credit for knowing what he's doing better than any of us.

Indeed - completely forgot that this was not a place to express our opinions in relation to stuff that is occurring/rumored.
