I'm assuming he's referring to the article I read earlier today that spoke briefly as to which QB should Miles be giving the most attention to in terms of practice reps and gameplan with.

Yes, you need to prepare your starter and the backup (and to an extent, the 3rd string), but the reality is that during any gameweek, the starter usually gets the majority of the reps with the "back up" receiving the next most amount of instruction and then the 3rd string.

Every back up needs to prepare like he's the starter because of injury, etc. But in our situation, Lee and Jefferson offer pretty different skill sets to the offense. Specifically JJ's ability to gain chunks of yards on the ground via designed QB draws, etc.

The only way I see our current situation affecting us differently than normal, is that I would simply say that the usually scripted opening offensive possession not include QB draws if JJ ends up being suspended, etc. Beyond the initial opening drives to either start the game or the 2nd half, each QB reguardless of who's under center, is simply executing any play from the playbook that the OC is calling. By that I mean, if the gameplan vs certain teams is to use more designed QB runs because JJ is your starter, so you script the first 10-15 plays to set your offense up to utilize that aspect. But you wouldn't want to do that (script plays to either use or set up a QB draw if Lee or Mettenberger are you QB's).
