Percentage of snaps
I have heard several coaches throughout the years comment that a 2 QB system hurts the growth of QBs as their snaps with the 1st team get split up and so its harder to get experience and cohesion in practice with the other starters. Timing the WR routes, seeing better defenders, etc in practice.
Well, with Threet being a viable option as the guy with the most experience and 2 young talented freshmen coming in... I am worried about having 3 guys split time in practice with the first team so that it could hold back the team's potential.

It didn't seem to bother Leak and Tebow.

.. so now we should probably tell tate and beaver to not come? we always find something to be pessimistic about.

That would be insane to suggest we shouldn't take 2 QBs this year. We need depth. No one would suggest that. I am not pessimistic, as I am concerned that it could hurt us if we try to play a 3 QB rotation system, like we sort of did a 2 QB rotation system early on this year.

I doubt they would split training camp/fall practice snaps three ways. They didn't do it this year when they had three QBs learning the system so I don't see why they would next year. They're each going to get reps in spring practice, they'll have the summer 7v7 type stuff to separate themselves a little more and the coaching staff will probably take two weeks in August to determine the order of their top 3.
and at that point if Threet or Sheridan can't establish themselves as the #1, after having two springs and an entire season to learn the system, they won't deserve time with the first team.

That is a good point. I am sure Rod will evaluate and make up his mind in time.
