Trying to please! OO! -GET HIM OUTTA THERE! - COME- ON COACH. GET ANOTHER QUARTERBACK! ' These terms sound familiar to many quar- terbacks. Many times when a game is lost, for some reason or another, the quarterback is the one to blame, whether he played great or played horrible. A lot of people think that the quarterback gets too much credit. Keuin Smith said. Believe me from experience, they don ' t re- ceive enough. ' Don ' t forget that the quar- terbacks are the ones who get blamed for losing; they are the ones that get dragged around by large obese lineman, and his own team gives him a little bit of criticism some- times. Have you ever been hit by a car. or fallen off a house? Well, that ' s the way I feel after a game. Kevin said. Many people say quarterbacks are wimps because they never get hit. Obviously those people who say that have never played a quarterback position. Another part of being a quarterback is to be able to remember all of the plays the coaches give him. They also must be able to read defenses and they must know what everyone else ' s job is. There are some advantages of being a quarterback, but not too many . Kevin said. A lot of the time when the team does win the quarterback receives some credit and a lot of congratulations from many friends and fam- iiy- Quarterbacks can get a little spoiled dur- ing football season. They get a couple of pads here, and a couple of pads there. Of course those pads are to protect him from serious injuries. During football season the quarterback gets a lot of roughing up from the team. The team puts a lot of pressure on the quarterback: and the coaches rely on him for the same reasons that the tearri does. Being a quarterback isnt the great and glamorous life many people think it is. But there will always be at least two people who will give the quarterback respect, whether he played good or bad. his mom and his fellow quarterback. Heidi Hutche Allison Rogers LOOKING TOUGHI As the news reporter and camera man interview Keuin Smith for the ten o ' clock news, he giues them details about the game. The news will often interview the quarterback or one of the main players for the news that euening and for the following weekend. 81 . . . Sports
