Can anyone answer this for me? How does a guy go from starting to not good enough to play for the team? Charlie Frye isn't the first, just the fastest.
Byron Leftwich - starter all preseason, then cut from the team.
Not having ever played football, I'm left to guess. My first thought is that it is a team chemistry thing - that a team doesn't want to have the guy they anointed team leader and who has a fiery, 494-cruising attitude, sitting on the bench.
There seem to be starting quarterbacks and backup quarterbacks who inhabit different universes. The HR rep might talk about their skill set. The starting quarterback is physically talented but when the team realizes he's either too expensive, a poor leader, or completely nuts, they ship him away, while the backup quarterback (think The Brothers Detmer) is undersized, weak-armed, psychologically grounded, and never going to lead a team to victory, though a calming influence and unlikely to spill coffee grounds all over the breakroom floor.
Any thoughts? Thanks for your advice.
