Now that is an odd way to do it. If its just those two playing I would have assumed it would be for an entire half each. Just from a rhythm standpoint.

I'm not sure a had coach who thinks you can run a two quarterback system in the regular season is going to have a very good understanding of "rhythm".

It's part of the process!! Read the word salad poop that Rhule says in that article.

This only makes sense if they are getting Sam out of here and Walker/Corral are battling for the QB2 job

"Then the second part, and this was coach McAdoo's idea, and his perspective, as a backup quarterback, you have to be ready to go in the game at a moment's notice, and you have to be able to excel and play well without having much of a chance to warm up. This is our way of simulating that for them, where they have to warm up and get cooled down and go in there and be hot; that's how I see it."

I've almost given up on Marshall. He's the new David Gettis.

David Gettis had one big game, though. And an 87-yard TD in another. You're thinking of Dwayne Jarrett.

There is a part of my brain that thinks "Good grief, he's not gonna stop till he finds some way to keep PJ Walker, is he?"

I'm trying really hard not to believe that but damn

I doubt he seriously plans to run a 2 qb system.  Baker would have to start turning the ball over a lot before he's benched.

I don't think Baker will look the same here. He had a better offense in my opinion.

[rippadonn]

I think not having as good a offense will really highlight his shortcomings.

I would expect a similar arrangement as this in Week 1 of the regular season. Baker first and third quarters, Darnold second and fourth. Or Baker on first and third downs, Darnold on second and fourth if needed.

It appears that it may indeed be the case. It would be shocking if they outright cut Sam however and anointed PJ the backup position without head to head competition. 

I guess PJ is auditioning for the backup position after all.  I suppose Corral is just getting some live bullets action to see what he's made of.

Not this season, no. That was last year.
