QB Platooning
Re: QB Platooning
Great... looks like our two QB system has put us on our 3rd and 4th string instead of our 2nd or 3rd string. I'm all in favor of utilizing different players according to their strengths, etc. But unfortunately it looks like this may have backfired: loss of confidence from either QB, puts two QBs at significant risk instead of one and then a substitution, sometimes adds energy to the drive but sometimes results in confusion and fumbles.@JoshWalfishDHG
Andrew Ford and Ross Comis DID NOT practice today. Whipple said they’re day-to-day. Will update again Wednesday.

Hey, Michael Curtis completed more passes than Ford and Comis combined on Saturday.

Re: QB Platooning
What a fucking joke. Only a real dunce could screw up this qb situation.
Re: QB Platooning
This probably the best submission in this thread. It pretty much demonstrates that platooning QBs can be done successfully. Unfortunately, Whipple is not doing it successfully.KahunaK wrote: ↑Mon Sep 17, 2018 9:04 pm I can't believe they didn't mention UMASS!!!

Re: QB Platooning
Sure, when you have two guys who could and would start at 99% of the schools out there, you can likely pull off platooning.

Re: QB Platooning
Not for nothin but Comis has been playing much better than Ford this year and he has been more successful in the past against top tier competition, i.e. Florida, etc.InnervisionsUMASS wrote: ↑Tue Sep 18, 2018 1:42 pm

Re: QB Platooning
Whipple should be starting and playing Comis, if that's the case. This isn't hard.minutefanjsf wrote: ↑Tue Sep 18, 2018 5:12 pm

Re: QB Platooning
Well regardless of who he chooses if it goes sideways it is because the player made too many mistakes.
