In order for a 2 QB system to be truly effective, the defenses have to
be concerned about the differences between the two QBs.  Right now I
don't know that Siemian/Colter offers the same degree of difficulty for
defenses as Persa/Colter.  

What we've seen of Siemian does suggest that the battle for starting QB 
in 2012 will be an interesting one, though.  

In addition to Siemian (RS FR) and Colter (SO), NU's roster also has 
P. J. Carollo (FR), Zack Oliver (FR) and Evan Watkins (SO) at QB.

Oliver is 6'4" 235, Watkins is 6'6" 245.
