The Cowboys alternated Roger Staubach and Craig Morton in the 1971 season, including every snap in a game against Chicago, which they lost. Once Tom Landry settled on Staubach for the remainder of the season, the Cowboys went on a tear and won the Super Bowl. So, history shows that it sometimes works, but it also can flop in a big way if the coach and team aren't prepared to handle the dynamic.
2 great QB's has never worked out has it?

King Hill and Dr. Frank Ryan did it at Rice and both played in the NFL. Hill was the Number 1 pick in the draft but Ryan had the more successful NFL career for the Browns.
As mentioned earlier Cody Carlson ans Tom Mueke did it successfully at Baylor
Great catch - I got to watch a number of games at Municipal Stadium in Cleveland with Dr. Frank Ryan as QB for the Browns, passing to the likes of Paul Warfield, Gary Collins, and Leroy Kelly.

If you're going to be smart at least spell two correctly. You know... that word you learned in 2nd grade.Tex117 said:

I think Reed and Weigman are both great
not great but has anybody mentioned bucky and pavlas
Chris Leak and Tim Tebow at Florida. Leak was designated the starter but Tebow still played a lot. I can't think of another.

Mac would have won another NC if he played Opie instead of Chrissy
I was told that Simms showed up to school on 1st day in a limo ...
Bledsoe & Brady
Brees - Flutie - Rivers
Trent Green / Kurt Warner
Tannehill & McGee & Jarrod Johnson

IMO, if your playing 2 quarterbacks, that means you don't have a quarterback. You play 2 quarterbacks when one is hurt. Don't rotate.
Lmao. yeah, Ewers proved that by going 24 for 43 passing vs Washington. and then dipsht Manning who underthrows open WRs or successfully runs against 2-star-recruit teams.Tex117 said:

Having two QBs that can play is wildly different than playing two QBs. Good teams don't do it.
wonder how many yards and completions either will have against the Ags?Ag1188 said:Lmao. yeah, Ewers proved that by going 24 for 43 passing vs Washington. and then dipsht Manning who underthrows open WRs or successfully runs against 2-star-recruit teams.Tex117 said:

I would first, define great. I'm not sure aTm has one great QB, much less two. 
2 star recruits? He outran Denver Harris, a former 5 star that's probably still on the aggie payroll.

RC Slocum played 3 Quarterbacks in the first game of the 2002 Season:
Mark Farris - starter
Dustin Long - softest & most catchable ball, broke several records that year
Reggie McNeal - Freshman phenom who beat #1 OU later that Season
Gig 'em.

Randy McCowen(sp?)

Except for the G O A T ! Oops misread your post.

The combination of Lance Pavlas and Bucky Richardson was incredible and nearly unstoppable
O, somewhere in this favored land dark clouds may hide the sun,
And somewhere bands no longer play and children have no fun!
And somewhere over blighted lives there hangs a heavy pall,
But Mudville hearts are happy now, for Casey hit the ball.

…I just hope everyone has fun!
RC didn't rotate them tho. Brandon started at the beginning of the season. Randy took over when Brandon struggled. Randy got hurt. Brandon led us to the Big 12 Championship game win (in which Lechler was the emergency QB and almost had to play if I recall) .MaroonStain said:Triple-T said:

As fate would have it, I played on a team with nothing but quarterbacks. Two "great" quarterbacks pale in comparison to having 57 great quarterbacks.
Leak and Tebow are really the only example of a 2 QB system succeeding.
I'm not saying we have 2 great qb's or even 1 but I do think this whole thing could work out if Weigman gets healthy . Having a guy on the sideline who has a good amount of game experience could pay some big dividends later in the season .
Who's going to tell him?True Texan said:
JFF and Tannehill
I think we are in a great position having CW and MR but calling either great at this point is a bit of a stretch.
