How to Solve QB Depth Issues?

First up, this is not a negative post- yall know that is not my thing really. It is more an observation of a phenomenon I find fascinating: we can't have QB depth!! I mean, we went from a Ryan Tannehill waiting his turn at the WR position for years, to having like 4 QBs transfer or likely transfer during Sumlin's time.

I know this is not an issue exclusive to us, Texas/Tech had the same problems the last couple of years. Seems like a change at the position in mentality- if you are a 4/5 star QB and you don't get a shot at the job within a season or two you are gone. Or not even 4/5 stars, that Tech walkon thought he was too good to play the game. It is an epidemic in the state.

But what do we do about it? I mean, having just two QBs at most on the roster every season is a scary thing.

The two solutions I can think of are:

1. Recruit a few lower-ranked QBs every other cycle, someone just happy to be on a SEC or A&M roster, for depth.

2. Pull a Ryan and let non-QBs take a few practice snaps. Let guys like RSJ or Speedy who have some QB experience be the depth, as they won't leave as they are getting guaranteed playing time at another position.

Personally, as someone who is very clueless about all of this, option 2 sounds better. Option 1 seems like we are wasting precious roster spots on players who might not make the impact of that four star safety or whatever we can't take instead. Also I would love to see the reaction of LSU fans if Speedy took a few reps in practice.

But is that the answer? Is there an option 3 I missed? Is there some long-term solution, like maybe looking elsewhere for QBs?

I would love to hear yalls thoughts.
