Two Quarterback System

Re: Two Quarterback System

I run one if I have a slow starter and just run option with him though. It's up to your preference/how you play the game and what your offense is.

Re: Two Quarterback System

I have a scrambler backup that I use for Wildcat formations, but that's it.

Re: Two Quarterback System

I do a similar thing with my half backs. After seeing this I realized that I have a similar situation with my Quater backs and im going to try this out.

Re: Two Quarterback System

I'm currently recruiting both a scrambler and a pocket passer, mainly because I want to try this 2 headed QB system.

Have the scrambler out there for options and the pocket passer (who i hope develops better) as the primary QB.

Re: Two Quarterback System

I've never run a two QB system, mostly because I run spread option almost exclusively and so my QB1 is a talented enough athlete to not need a "wildcat" QB. I have however pulled my QB1 from the game at certain times. Because of the nature of my system, my QB can tend to get tired and I'll pull him for a play or two for his backup to try and get him back to green.

There have also been years I've had a smaller scatback/Denard Robinson-type QB that I've pulled out of the game and replaced with a bigger Tim Tebow type QB to run QB Power or something.

I just don't have a system that would warrant swapping a passer out for a runner. Even when I ran air raid, I never felt the need for it. But the spread option system I've been running for a long time now really has no need. I do have a need for a game-ready backup though, my QB's drop like flies in this system.

I had 2 freshman QBs come in rated the same in my UNCP (created team) dynasty. Due to them being such a low rated team, they came in rated higher the rest of my QBs so they had to play right away. One was a prototypical pocket passer while the other was balanced (pocket/scrambler). With my mediocre OL I chose to start the balanced QB, but in some passing formations (no backs/hail mary/etc.) I put in the pocket passer. It worked out really well the first year, both threw double digit TDs. After the first year the balanced QB got much better while the pocket passer only improved a couple ratings points, so now the balanced guy takes all the snaps.

Re: Two Quarterback System

I did this for a season on NCAA 07 for the PS2. I moved Missouri State to an FBS team and was in season 3 or 4 with them. I had a pretty strong armed QB that was a Junior, and I had just landed a 4 star QB that was a scrambler, but was a below average passer. I platooned the guys for the entire season and it worked out pretty well. I think I finished 10-2 that year and both guys contributed. The hardest thing I remember about it was finding a good balance of playing time for the two. If one guy came in and completed 5 or 6 passes and led the team to a TD, I would normally stick with him the following drive as well. The way it worked out, I think the running QB ended up being the leading rusher on the team with about 700 yards, and the passing QB threw something like 20 TDs with 5 or 6 interceptions. The running QB only threw 4 or 5 TDs, but rushed for 10 or 11, so both contributed a lot. I do remember getting destroyed by a #1 ranked USC team that year though. I had scheduled them as a late season game and neither QB could get anything going. I think they both threw a couple of picks that game and I lost something like 45-17.

Really depends on you system, I primarily run with 1 QB weather it be a dual threat or a pocket passer. However I do formation sub fast RB or my DT QB into wildcat and option formations for that added dimension. could definitively come in handy on those short situations or throwing on the run.

Re: Two Quarterback System

I am currently doing it in Year 1 of my UGA dynasty. More out of dire need though. Gurley and Marshall my two stud HBs both went out for multiple weeks early in the year, had to move a FB to HB and struggled mightily in the running game. I could use Murray my QB as a scrambling threat with 79 speed however his arm is worth way too much. I sub in Christian LeMay my back up who's an 83 speed and run some read options and speed options out of shotgun formations for some running yards. I run a pro style offense but have found success using LeMay in short yardage situations when I am struggling running (which happens a lot when you are down to your 4th string HB)

I did that last year in NCAA 12 with Nebraska, except when my top two HB's went out I moved my QB (Martinez) to HB. He actually dominated, ran for over 150 yards in the three games I had to do it and his backup at QB was solid.

Re: Two Quarterback System

I use oklahoma so i have Landry Jones and Blake Bell so i have certain formations that i only use bell and it's quite effective in short yardage situations as well as goal line situations

Re: Two Quarterback System

I did the two QB thing for 1 year in my NCAA 11 Rice dynasty. It was year three and I had recruited a scrambling QB that ended up being pretty great, and had a hold over that ended up being about a 76 and could kinda move but was a better passer. What I did was try and figure out what schemes I ran with my QB our would be comfortable running with them and then for only those formations installed him. It ended up where he got about 8 - 13 plays a game. He was so-so but later in the year (about week 10) I lost my first stringer for the year and had to then use my backup the rest of the way. He ended up playing really well until the National Championship game and we got blown out.

**Tiger2003** · 10-26-2012, 01:03 PM

I ran a 3 QB system one just strictly ran the Wildcat formation and it worked out great for me. Averaged 51.4 ppg and had a 14-0 record.

Re: Two Quarterback System

I'm doing this with Air Force. Recruited a fast QB, promised he would play a lot because I didn't think I had any QBs that were good. Turns out that their one RB, John Lee is just as good of a QB. Lee is the started, with the recruit subbed in for about half of the formations. I also run the shotgun 4 wide with an actual RB at QB, mainly to do a lot of options, with the occasional Jet Sweep. It worked until Lee got injured and Andersen( the recruit) took over big time. It can work, you should be okay.
