NFL offenses are very complex, and the types of plays that they run are chosen based upon the skills of the “skills players” – those who end up with the ball.

If you have multiple quarterbacks, their skillsets are not going to be the same, and that means the offense needs to be tuned for both quarterbacks. Adds more plays and more variations of plays, which reduces the practice time per play and tends to be more confusing.

And the obvious problem of the salary cap – good quarterbacks are one of the highest-paid players on the whole team, and you generally can’t afford to carry two that are NFL starters – assuming you could find them.
