I think you make the decision on naming a QB based on your own timetable, not to try and force the opponent's timetable.  There are times when naming your QB a week ahead of the first game is important -- perhaps for the confidence of the starter, or perhaps to get the team focused on the rhythm of the starter.  There could be a dozen or more reasons.  Other times, you might want to wait until the last minute, because you want both guys ready at the opening whistle.  You want both guys to feel like the starter, you want both guys to prepare the same.  I think we as fans create too many of these situations, theorizing that coaches are waiting in order to keep the opponent guessing.  The first order is to manage the psyche of your own team, know what motivates each individual player, know you your players react to different situations such as being a starter, or being a back-up.  IMHO, most times that is what coaches are trying to do, not out-think the opponent.
