Platooning quarterbacks Platooning quarterbacks is when a football team uses two ( or more ) quarterback s to run their offense , rather than the traditional one in American football . This tactic becomes less common the higher the level of football ( high school teams are more likely to do it than National Football League teams for example ) . Quarterbacks may be switched in and out of the game every play , every drive , every quarter , or depending on certain situations . If quarterbacks are switched game to game that is not platooning , that is a " quarterback controversy " or a simple benching . Advantages . Using two different quarterbacks allows an offense to use players with different skill sets . One common reason teams platoon quarterbacks is because one player is a good passer and the other a good runner ( see for example Stanley Jackson and Joe Germaine of the 1997 Ohio State Buckeyes ) . Thus defenses have to prepare for two types of quarterback , not just one . It also allows offenses to run a greater variety of plays . Disadvantages . Arguably the most common reason QBs are platooned is because neither are very good . If you have a great quarterback , it does not make sense to remove him from the field on a regular basis . There is an old football saying " if you have two starting quarterbacks , you don ' t have one . " Changing quarterbacks can disrupt the rhythm of an offense ( and / or of the quarterbacks ) . It also makes it hard for a quarterback to establish himself as a leader if he is not always on the field . Also having a " running quarterback " and a " passing quarterback " can make it easier for a defense to predict what an offense will do on a given play depending on which quarterback is on the field . Rarely do team platoon quarterbacks as part of an active strategy , usually it is to make the best of a bad situation . Platooning running backs on the other hand is often seen as desirable , especially in the NFL , as a way to keep them both fresh and healthy . Variations . " Smelley Garcia " . Southeastern Conference college football fans use the regional term " Smelley Garcia " to describe an unsuccessful use of platooning quarterbacks when both have similar skill sets . The name is derived from University of South Carolina quarterbacks Chris Smelley and Stephen Garcia who were platooned by the Gamecocks despite largely being the same player . It is not intended to be complimentary . In general fans do not want their teams to be platooning quarterbacks . Non - platooning . Platooning quarterbacks is not the same a playing an inexperienced quarterback in certain situations to prepare him to be a starter once the current starter is no longer with the team . A team platooning quarterbacks is doing it because it wants to have both quarterbacks playing because they think it gives them the best chance to win the game . There can be cases where both apply ( the Florida Gators use of Tim Tebow in 2006 for example ) . Also using a quarterback only for one type of play ( QB sneaks or Hail Marys for example ) is not a traditional platooning . Both quarterbacks have to be running the majority of a teams offense .

Teams have the option of trading away their picks to other teams for different picks , players , cash , or a combination thereof .

The Texans have selected number one overall twice , David Carr in 2002 and Mario Williams in 2006 . The team never selected number two overall and number three overall once , Andre Johnson . the Texans have never selected more than one first - round player from the same college .
