What we want? Or what who we think will actually get the start?

Can we have a third option of āI really donāt care who it is as long as itās a clear starter and backup scenario?ā

Yup, Iād have two different answers: I predict Muskett. I want Colandrea. Why? Entertainment value + youth + I canāt imagine there is more than a game or so difference in how weād fare under either

All this being said, if he goes Muskett, he stays healthy, we perform at that 4.5 win level, and AC does end up transferring I think you basically fire Elliott that day?

I donāt really follow football beyond reading this boardās posts, but are there any good places to look at āadvancedā player stats like we have for basketball? Because by the basic stats I can find on CFB reference, Colandrea and Muskett look similar on completion percentage, but Colandrea a bit better on TD-Int ratio, yards per attempt. Colandrea seems to make more stuff happen good and bad, but I donāt know if there were any big differences in the strength of schedule they faced.
I was starting to come around on CTE but now Iām completely back out again. A two quarterback approach is a clown show and indicates he simply does not have what it takes to be a CFB head coach

What? There is no evidence of a ātwo quarterback approachā. I strongly suspect theyāve already named a starter to the team and are moving forward. I think the hope is Muskett is the guy and can stay healthy for the year, allowing AC to RS while getting some work within the 4 game limit.

Yeah this is clearly the planā¦ To say there is no evidence of a 2 QB approach is not paying attention.

I mean it isnāt until we see exactly how it plays out, for all we know this is coach speak. Or āuse bothā could simply mean what I stated above.

Weāll see how it plays out. Could it be a true platooning scenario? Sure. It could also be a clear starter with the understanding that the backup is still going to play in blowouts, or acknowledging the inevitability of injuries, or maybe in special packages (the Anae special), or that the UR game will effectively be a final audition for the two and theyāll pick going into Wake week.
I agree a true full-season platooning is a disaster in the making, at which point Iāll be quietly rooting for one to get turf toe so the football gods make Elliottās decision for him. Until then Iāll hold my breath for another 9 days.

Correct. London for two years, Bronco for one.

I think that CTE was speaking the truth when he said āweāre going to use bothā and that does not mean he is committing to a platoon situation. They used both last year and never platoon them.
Not trying to give CTE an out, just being realistic I donāt see a world where either QB stands upright for every game the entire season.
Further more if they start Muskett and then give AC a series a QT (for argument sakes not saying they should) I donāt consider that true platooning or even bad. Perhaps thereās an āAC packageā that gets trotting out on occasion. Plenty of programs have done that.
At the end of the day I think it will all work itself out and do so fairly quickly. There will be a clear QB1 who takes the overwhelming majority of the snaps and a QB2 who fills in due to bad play, injury, or a wild hare up the OCs ass. But I donāt think this is going to be an ongoing conversation/mater beyond what the message boards make it out to be.
