I coach 8th grade football.
I've had the same kids for 3 years now. (Started with them at 6th grade, 7th, and now this year)
I have two solid QBs
QB1 - Good accuracy, fast runner, knows the offense...little quiet though
QB2 - Very short, good runner, makes mental errors, great team leader.
Both kids are excellent kids. Respectfull, hard working.
Every year it's been the same thing. QB1 beats out QB2 for the starting job. Better arm, better athlete.
Last weeks scrimmage. QB1 has to miss a practice for a funeral. QB2 has an excellent practice. I tell QB2 he gets to start the scrimmage this week. (Keep in mind, opening day, QB1 is my guy)
I tell QB1 at the next practice QB2 is starting, that it had nothing to do with missing practice, it was because QB2 deserved a shot.
I get a call the next day at work...QB1's Dad, nice guy...but, he says to me
"Hey coach...so my son comes home and says to me, ""Thanks for making me go to that stupid funeral, now I'm the 2nd string QB"
You can imagine how the conversation went from there. Geez, dam kids.
