The Tampa Bay Vipers are looking for a win this week against the Houston Roughnecks. This will be their home opener. The Vipers need to do one thing and that is score an offensive touchdown. They only have one touchdown and that was a 63-yard kick return. It seems that head coach Marc Trestman can’t decide who he wants to start at quarterback.

In week one against the New York Guardians, he started Aaron Murray and he looked lost. Murray seemed shell shocked! He scrambled out of the pocket when he didn’t need to. In week two with Murray out with a foot injury, he started Taylor Cornelius. Cornelius didn’t have a bad game, but the offense looked flat like it did when Murray started. On the other hand, it seems that when Quinton Flowers was in the game. Flowers is a dual-threat quarterback.

Quinton Flowers should be the starter in week three. The Tampa Bay Vipers offense seems to be in a flow. The Vipers play at Raymond James Stadium which is also home to the University of South Florida Bulls. The same USF Bulls that Flowers played for. He spent four years there.

Flowers set records for the Bulls that may never be broken. In my opinion, he would draw more fans to the Vipers’ first home game. I think the biggest aspect is that he can do it with arm and legs. I believe that Trestman needs to start him. In some cases, things need to shake up. This team needs some new blood and to score touchdowns. The Roughnecks’ defense will have to be ready for Flowers. The Vipers have been one of the top running teams in the XFL.

I know that Quinton Flowers has thrown one interception in his time. I believe that if he given the time, he can help move the Vipers offense down the field. This team can score touchdowns they have come close in the first two games. Flowers showed while he was in college and NFL that he can be that player that can spark an offense.

Trestman needs to use the spread offense and get Flowers out into space. Maybe we could see the option offense where the Roughnecks defense is put on their toes. He also needs to make sure they put the ball in the air. Teams will prepare for the run so let Flowers use his arm. It would help that his receivers and fellow offensive players don’t make mistakes. Those would be drop balls, turnovers, and penalties.

I get the honor of being at the Tampa Bay Vipers home opener, hoping to see Quinton Flowers as a starter. If Trestman doesn’t go that route maybe he should but Flowers in more. The offense needs to do one thing, and this score a touchdown. They only have three field goals to account for the offense. I believe that with Flowers in the game whether he is a started or not he can help with that issue. Let’s hope that Trestman is listening to the fans and we get Flowers as a starter against the Houston Roughnecks.

Will Quinton Flowers get his chance to be a starter against the Houston Roughnecks? Leave a comment below.
