Why do we not see teams run a dual QB(Only 1 plays) system in a whole year? (NFL)
In: 2
Best comparison I can think of is having 2 teachers run a classroom. Schools CAN do it, but you don’t really see it happening. Imagine the chaos if you have the substitute teacher and regular teacher teach the way they both normally do.
The New Orleans Saints ran it pretty well (sort of) with Taysom Hill being the #2 QB. But, he was mainly playing a different position the whole time. It was generally a “trick play” or it was a QB run with Hill .
The major issues with a 2 QB team would be how well the other players can have a good synergy with both quarterbacks. It takes a lot of time to develop, and NFL has limited practice time. There isn’t enough money to do so anyways.
Plus, 11 players on the field all have their purpose. 2 QB means one will generally be doing nothing, giving an advantage to the defense. The second QB doing nothing because they tend to not be as skilled as the specialists in other positions AND you don’t want them to get hurt.
