Generally speaking, I think what I said was correct. Some teams have QBs they feel are more like 1A than a true 2nd teamer, and may get them more game ready. Other staffs may just do that as a common practice because of their coaching philosophy. I can say though, that Morrell was not in either of those positions. In responding to
@sportsphantom1, I was pointing out that for most backup QBs, that one week of game prep is rarely enough to get them ready. Morrell was totally handcuffed in his games. Whether that was because he wasn't ready for more, or just that the coaching believed he wasn't, the result was the same. I don't know how good Morrell will be this coming year. But I do know it's unfair to judge him based on those two appearances in 2016.
Oh, and Tua was the #1 dual threat QB in the country coming out of HS. I have a feeling that if he was our backup our staff would have had him ready to go.
