Comments on: Trust Brian Kelly, He’s Good at Quarterbacking https://www.herloyalsons.com/blog/2016/08/01/brian-kelly-two-quarterbacks/ A Notre Dame Football Blog Sun, 14 Aug 2016 21:48:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.8.3 By: TERRY https://www.herloyalsons.com/blog/2016/08/01/brian-kelly-two-quarterbacks/#comment-259160 Sun, 14 Aug 2016 21:48:00 +0000 http://www.herloyalsons.com/blog/?p=35106#comment-259160 Disagree.

Kelly has to pick ONE QB and tell him this – “I have confidence in you. The job is yours.”

If the guy he picks is having a bad day and starts worrying about getting yanked – it affects him and it also affects the other ten guys out there.

Seems to me Notre Dame Qb’s have a tendency to either start slow or take their foot off the gas while we are ahead. (such as Zaire against Virginia Tech or Kizer vs Boston College). I prefer Zaire to start. Kizer has thrown a few to many questionable balls imo. Plus Seniority rules. My Kelly Trust polling is through the roof

Hi Brendan. Thanks for reading and for commenting. Maybe there’s not a lot of juggling involved, other than in terms of keeping both players happy and the cadences consistent. Kizer and Zaire are very similar players and it’s not like you know there’s a gimmick or a trick coming when one or the other is under center. It’s not like when Tommy was subbed in and you knew there was no QB option on the offering. Personally, I am a lot more comfortable when there’s a clear starter, but I’m not a football coach and Kelly clearly has the demonstrated ability to run an offense through two QBs.

However, I think the decision is clear, at least in my humble opinion: you have a more experienced QB, who also happens to be the younger QB. Don’t you think that, unless Zaire is the clear-cut better QB during fall camp, it would make more sense not only for this year, but the longevity of the offense, to go with the kid who has more eligibility? It will provide a longer, more sustainable offensive identity.
I understand the worst case scenario of not using the two QB system: One of the guys might transfer. But I would rather have a solid, consistent offensive mindset than try to juggle two guys because you’re worried about one of them leaving.
