WE run the spread gun option. He has a partially torn hamstring from last Fridays game. How do you rally the troops when he is the glue that holds this team together?

Ouch! This is why I prefer a system that is not QB intensive. Even if my first two qbs are injured, we can still run our offense and be successful.

Just coach the backup and hope he is ready for next weeks game. Also make sure you show you cofident with the backup QB, when the team is around you. If you have cofidince in the backup so will the team.

In 2005 our starting QB "found out" he was ineligible the week before the first game!!! We didn't have a back up. We rallied. We thought about the JV kid, but he wasn't ready. So, we put our receiver there. #81 was our starting QB. First 7 games we played. 7-0. Rep the living crap out of the replacement. You'll be fine.

If your scheme revolves around the QB, then put your next best kid there. Figure out what he can do best and rep that. Figure out where he is challenged and rep THAT! If the JV kid isn't ready, everyone will know it (you, your kids, and the opponent) so don't waste your time. If he CAN do it, then coach him up and tell the other kids to "be football players!" Haven't been in your shoes since 1998 but that's how we did it. Struggled to win games but the kids rallied around their team-mates.

Agreed, if you run the spread gun option put your next best athlete there (helps if he's a kid with his head on straight). Let him know you will be patient but that he won't get the benefit of a long learning curve.
