So is this a 50/50 platoon now? Maybe I didnt read up enough this past week, but my assumption was Mertz as QB1 with Lagway packages. I'm certainly not against Lagway taking over; I've just never seen, off memory, a QB platoon situation where the QBs are alternating entire series and certainly not this type of setup that worked. And it obviously wasn't about finding and riding the hot hand because one QB would lead a scoring drive and then get yanked for the next series.
I witnessed with everyone else Spurrier sending the playcalls in with alternating QBs every play on various occasions but even he admitted that was not ideal. Yesterday's QB rotation just seemed so...odd. Along with the OL rotations vs Miami and (as another thread notes) yesterday's WR grouping -- specifically walk-on Spierto seeing the third most snaps among the WR room.
By all means set me straight if this QB shuffling every series has been done before and worked at a high level. Otherwise it just looks to me like a head coach that can't make a big decision.
