How do you divide the snaps between the three QBs?

[ryoung8918]

How Miami handles splitting the reps in preseason will go a long way to determining who is the prospective starter. You have three QBs, who gets what percentage of the snaps?

Whoever ends up as the likely starting QB needs LOTS of reps in what will, for them, be a new system.

Exactly se ya Beck... Ya had the QB coach all to oneself and they still went ahead with Henne... SPEAKS volumes

 

[FinFanatic80]

John Beck - 50% (1st half)
Josh McCown - 25% (3rd quarter)
Chad Henne - 25 % (4th quarter)

Beck has been working with the QB coach Lee all off season. I am sure that McCown has been training with the Phins since signing his FA contract a while back.

I might have missed it but has Miami been distributing playbooks to the current team members or is the playbook still being compiled? Are the current QBs working on terminology or will that all come in the first mini camp?

 

[tcdrover]

I think they probably start out even or favoring McCown as he is the vet, but eventually based on how they perform they will pick someone then change the reps....

McCown will probably win I think, he has played many more pro games and won many, many, more games. :d-day:

I'm curious how many unforced fumbles he has. :D

Beck knows the playbook and has a year under his belt, but only part of a season as the starter. McCown will need a while to learn the playbook, but he has more actual NFL game experience than either Beck or Henne. I would probably go 50% Beck, and 25% the other two. Hopefully all three will get get plenty of time in preseason....maybe have Beck play a half and Henne and McCown get a quarter each.

It'll be interesting to see. I can't see this being a true 3-way competition. Just not enough reps in the preseason to go around. If I had to guess, mini-camps and practices will be used to narrow the field to two, with those guys getting alternating shots at woriking with the #1 offense.

All things are fairly even,none of these players has ran one play with the current offensive scheme. I give McCown the initial nudge just because he has shown he at the least NFL ready. It will be a battle between Henne and Beck to unseat him. Henne by starting as a freshman at michigan has shown he can go in and grab a job and keep it though. Not many Qb's are 4 year starters at a major school.

You have 4 pre-season games. Mini camps and training camp to evaluate the situation.

I may for the first game give Beck and McCown a half each. Let Henne watch and learn.

Next game I'd give it to whom ever performed better between the two, a half and Henne the other.

3rd Game I would give who ever performed better between those two a half and who ever sat out the other.

4th game pick your starter for the season and the other two split quaters in the second half.

It will definitly spark compitition and give the guys the time it takes to get the feel for a game. 1 quater only could only give a guy maybe one two touches....that's not a fair evaluation.

Your right, not many 4-year starters

But remember, John Beck was a 4-year starter as well.

The likely starter will reveil himself in training camp, not in the pre-season.

The coaches will already have them ranked by then most likely.

I said at a major university. BYU is a great school dont get me wrong but there is alot more Qb competition at a school like Michigan that every year beings ina top Qb prospect. Also Henne was the undisputed starter as a freshman, he won the job outright. John Beck took over in fourth as a freshman when Matt berry got injured. If Berry is not injured Beck does not start his fresman year and probably not his sophmore year. Now dont get this wrong starting for 4 years even under these sitiuations was a great acheivement.

 

[DaPoppaP23]

i think that Henne and Beck will probably get most of the snaps

 

[G-Force]

beck has thrown well over 5,000 passes with our new QB coach this offseason and they were thrown out of our new system. He is going to be far more advanced than anyone else at QB whenever preseason rolls around. Beck will get the most reps and the way Henne acted at the draft he may not be on the roster anytime soon and Beck and McCown will get all the reps.
