Good stuff meansonny!
I was interested in 2004 with the 2 QBs both getting game reps. Shock played in 10 games, 24 rushes 113 yards. 4+ yards per rush. Not bad, but he wasnt running RPO or zone read type options between the tackles...That's 2.4 rushes per game....I'd doubt many, if any, of those 2.4 rushes per game were designed runs. Likely good scrambling when plays broke down with a few 10-15 yarders sprinkled in.
All that to say that 2 QB rotation in 2004 (mostly Greene of course) wasn't specifically for a change of pace or for running plays. It was respect for 2 guys that could spin it and play ball, who developed at similarly one year apart.
Just a long way around to say a QB rotation isn't always bad...maybe rarely good but not always bad, and we've seen it succeed before at UGA.
I am not lobbying for it this year, but it wouldn't bother me either as long as W's are the result!!
Cheers!

I just went back to watch DJ vs Clemson in 2003:
The 1st play for him was a designed run.
The next run for him in the 3rd Q appeared to be a designed run as well.
He also had a 29 yard TD run, which was also a designed run.
