Agreed. Playing QB is really, really hard. I’ve been on a local rec flag football team for a few years, and only about 2 or 3 out of our 15 guys are capable of playing QB with any hope of winning. It’s very, very hard to catch the ball from the center, locate an open receiver, and complete an accurate pass all within a second or two, often while having to run to avoid a sack.
A feeling of gloom hung over Taylor Field on Labour Day, 2002.
Every year, the Big Game in the regular season for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the CFL is the Labour Day Classic, when league rivals, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, come to Taylor Field in Regina.
In 2002, Rocky Butler was the fourth string quarterback for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Improbably, he was pressed into service as the starter of the Labour Day Classic of that year, because injuries had knocked out the first :(, second 
, and third string :eek: quarterbacks.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers were led by Khahari Jones, the CFL’s Most Outstanding Player of 2001. It was Butler’s first professional start. And if he went down, there was no back-up QB left.
Rocky led the Riders to an improbable 33-19 win over the Bombers, in one of the best Labour Day Classics ever!
Uh, three years ago?
Unless I’m being wooshed…
Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart WON the Heisman!
And Rodney Peete and Matt Barkley were definitely contenders.
Put the rookie in!
The rookie running back/kick returner that is.
