What's the point of NOT having two qb leagues? Sell me on it?

Maybe because fantasy lineups in most leagues mirror the NFL, in which teams do not start two QBs. Yes, in a fantasy league you can make any silly rule you want, but some of us like leagues that are closer to the real world and for us starting two QBs a week doesn't cut it. But, it is a personal preference and if people want leagues that start two (or more) QBs, the more power to them.

Do you dress up in a uniform with full pads on game day?

Ummm...football coaches/owners don't wear pads and uniforms on game day - this aint baseball brohan. YWIA.

But you wear a headset AMIRIGHT?

Try a 2 QB league because it might be fun. That's the only reason to do it. It's not any more or less "real". It adds another wrinkle. That's all.

I think it's fun, for what that's worth.

It's about balancing the value of positions. In baseball, where every player puts up the same categories of stats, standard fantasy rosters do a pretty good job of making it so that players throughout the draft, from top to bottom, could come from any position. Fantasy football has always been a mess in that regard, with RBs overwhelmingly coming off first and K and D being afterthoughts. Terrible game design. PPR is a way to try to balance that, but it doesn't work so well. Changing roster requirements (e.g. 3 WRs) is another way to try to do that. Adding a starting QB helps balance QBs against other positions. Fundamentally, that's what all these rules are about. None of them work all that well, though: FF is still pretty much a disaster in that regard. People don't seem to mind so much, though.
