Article on QB Disasters


Recommended Posts

How can one speak of QB disasters wirhout mentioning the 1968 Bills. We ended the year Ed Rutkowski (a so so WR) at QB?

 

Jack Kemp hurt in training camp. Tom Flores, Kay Stephenson, Dan Darragh and Benny Russell hurt during season leaving Rutkowski to start 3 games including a thrilling Thanksgiving Day game where we were about to win the game when Rutkowski fumbled on a keeper at the goal line. If we had won that game, we would have drafted second instead of first and ended up with Leroy Keyes instead of OJ Simpson.

Case Keenum will be Houston's starting quarterback when the Texans play at Kansas City this week, coach Gary Kubiak announced Thursday. Matt Schaub injured his ankle against the Rams last week, paving the way for the undrafted Keenum to make his first career start.

Through the first six weeks of the season, T.J. Yates had been the Texans No. 2 quarterback, but Yates struggled against the Rams, throwing two interceptions in less than one half of action. Yates will be the backup quarterback against the Chiefs while Schaub won't play at all. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24097327/undrafted-qb-case-keenum-will-be-texans-starter-against-chiefs

The whole time I was reading that article, I was thinking of that season.
