Why dont teams use 2 quarterbacks?

[juck]

It seems like it would be tuff to gameplan this way.just curious.Like the falcons for instance,Schaub or Vick big difference.Even mixing it up by halfs.

That would be a very good question...But i just hope we dont do that with Bledsoe and Romo... hahahahaha

i think it'd be interesting setting up a 2QB set with a running quarterback as well, dont know if it would be effective though, hard to say ;p

The Lions do.. Mike Martz has been using Josh McCown as a WR lately in certain sets while Mike Williams stays on the bench

I agree though, I think the Falcons especially could come up with some good plays moving Vick around.

Continuity is a big part of why you only use one QB. Also, it's difficult to keep two talented, experienced QBs on your roster at the same time. Cap economics just don't make that an easy thing to do. You build your offense around this scheme and what happens when you lose one of your QBs to free agency in a year or so? You end up having to get another talented QB who can come in and run your offense. Just not easy. Lastly, in reality, you have to have three talented QBs on the roster at any given time. Because you need two guys to run the offense, if one gets injured, you have to have a guy who can step right in as a back up and another guy who can then replace the backup. Just doesn't make much sense to me.
