With the Quarterback being the most visible position on the field, a QB controversy can be the wedge that divides a team and fractures culture within a team and its larger community. By having a subjective system, this situation can be avoided and not only clearly define the starter but also serve as a tool for QB developement.

This is a system that continues on into camp and through the season, and helps give both the quarterbacks and me feedback o
