I'm watching the Virginia Tech-FSU game and VT is using two QBs. In fact they switched mid-series. I have my opinion but I'm interested in what you thoughts are about using two QBs.

I have never thought it was that beneficial in terms of being "tricky" or outsmarting the offense, unless they both are on the field at the same time. For example, if Ryan Perriloux for LSU was also playing WR on downs when he wasn't a QB. That would cause some headaches in terms of in game play calling. YES you might have to have a bigger game plan vs a two QB system but as far as playcalling goes, I don't think it is all that much a challenge. You just have to have sideline discipline with the personnel packages, and make sure the spotter doesn't fall asleep.

One of the schools in our conference rotated every down between two QBs this year. 1 kid was a junior and the other was a senior. The coach took some heat for not choosing 1 starter but the team did pretty well...11-0 before getting knocked out of the playoffs today.

VT didn't do it intentionally. Their starter at the beginning of the season was last year's starter, a classic dropback passer. He's experienced and has some mobility but he won't beat you running. The other kid is a true freshman, a highly recruited guy. He's a great athlete, a good passer, and a good, smart kid.
The dropback guy was the starter last year and wasn't very good. He started the first couple of games this year but was benched for ineffectiveness. Much of that was because they had OL issues and they felt that the more athletic kid had more of a chance.
The young guy had mixed results. When he got hurt, the dropback guy threw 67% and looked good. Yesterday the dropback guy got hurt and the kid played well and led them to a win.
What do you think?

I think the primary benefit of some type of 2qb system is that you hopefully avoid the situation of having a kid enter the season having taken NO snaps and having to be the starter.

depends on the playbook, I prefer one but have used both this season.
