Are 3 QBs better than 1?

Question: What’s the best way to replace a high school Parade All-American quarterback?
In the case of No. 1 Scottsdale Notre Dame Prep, the answer is with a multiple QB system. With Sean Renfree no longer around to take snaps, Saints coach Scot Bemis said Tuesday he may use up to three quarterbacks in Friday’s season opener against Goodyear Desert Edge. Depending on the results, the strategy may be employed the rest of the season as well.
Junior Will King and seniors Shane Wolfe and Andy Wilder are all in the running to be the new starter, but no one has emerged as the clear choice.
“They all bring something different to the table,” Bemis said. “We’ll kind of simplify the gameplan for them right now, see how they handle it, then we’ll go from there. If one of them picks it up, then we’ll give him more responsibility as the season moves on.”
Although, having three quarterbacks can complicate things, Bemis said he enjoys the versatility it affords him.
“With the group I have, I like our options right now,” he said. “(Eventually) I’d like to settle in on one as the primary starter and then have a couple change-up packages if possible.”
The approach should make for some sleepless nights for opposing defensive coordinators.
