It's just that when mistakes happen because of mental errors, it really upsets me. But I'm trying to be more balanced and even tempered. Look for quarterback Jesse Palmer to get jerked around as Spurrier works freshman Brock Berlin and redshirt freshman Rex Grossman into the line-up. Tennessee Everybody loves a quarterback derby. In rare cases, the outcome seems certain.
Legend has it that three quarterbacks transferred the next day.
Heath Shuler went up to Washington as the anointed quarterback of the future, but Shuler held out, then got hurt, giving an opening the working man's hero, fellow rookie Gus Frerotte from Tulsa, to play for much of their first season. Before their second season, Redskins coach Norv Turner announced a contest. After Frerotte was announced as the winner, Shuler said it felt like a rigged game, and it may have been. Six falls ago at UT the question was whether Peyton Manning or Branndon Stewart was the quarterback of the future. In retrospect, we can all see that Peyton was eventually going to ascend to glory in the NFL, making All-Pro in his second season.
