We all know one thing about college football – or any level for that matter – and because we all know it, it has become kind of cliché.
A quarterback gets too much credit and too much blame for what happens in a game.
Sometimes, there is a quarterback in a game who carries a team on his back. But for the most part, a quarterback is only as good as the man calling the plays. And his receivers. And his offensive line. And backs being able to pick up blitzes. And a defense that gives him a lot of short fields.
Other than that, yeah, the quarterback deserves all of the credit.
And in most cases, he receives it. There is a reason why there are three quarterback statues in front of the Swamp.
And certainly, just being the quarterback at Florida is a big deal. You are playing the most important position at the flagship university in this state, you’re going to get some attention.
There have been some great ones here and this edition of Dooley’s Dozen looks at the 12 best, at least according to me.
