Right now - how good a high school quarterback would you be?
Here's the scenario. It's Friday night. You go out to get yourself some Popeye's Fried Chicken. As you drive over, you see the local high school stadium lit up, and you see a snow cone stand up in the booster club's booth.
Dang, you think to yourself. I could really go for a snow cone right now. So you pull off and park and walk over to get yourself one. There are only 5 seconds left in the game. At that moment, the quarterback gets Theismanized on a fluke hit. Most of the team immediately starts vomiting. Their helicopter parents, assuming ebola and regretting their stance against vaccination, immediately descend from the stands and take them home, with plans to move them to the soccer team as soon as possible. When all is said and done, there are only ten players left on the home team. The team's not great, but it's not bad. They're a .500 club in Class 4A, with a reasonable line and slightly above average running back. One receiver made all-district last year and the left guard may have a scholarship offer to Montana State. The tight end is all-conference and he's only a sophomore. But they have no quarterback. After exhausting all other options, they look up into the stands where you're just starting to enjoy your blue raspberry snow cone. You have two years of eligibility left from high school even though you're at your current age. and one of the cheerleaders has a pair of cleats in her car that will fit you. They need a quarterback to finish out the season. You have a dream. Assume that there are six games left on the schedule, and you can be at every practice. By the end of the year, how would you perform? Remember, this is happening right now. Your current age, your current weight, your current conditioning.

I'd have a Palko esque velocity on my spiral, wouldn't be able to run a read option, probably get easily confused on which route to throw to.

Well, seeing how I'm 4 yards away from a heart attack it won't end well.

I tore mine in HS football and haven't thrown well since.

Honestly, I would be off the charts bad.
I can run, so I've got that going for me. But probably not nearly as fast as a typical high school kid. On the passing, I've got a torn elbow tendon right now that completely puts throwing out of the question. But even if it was healthy I'd have a range of about 15 yards maximum. My throwing muscles don't get much of a workout. In terms of reading defenses and stuff, I could probably pick up on that pretty fast. It would be the execution that's a problem.

Not quite close enough to throw over.

My current age, my current weight, my current conditioning?
You Tube moment...... Crash & Burn! Give me my body back in 1975 ( I was a QB ) and my current brain ....... Oh forget about it, no chemistry, just too many odds against it for only 5 seconds & my current age & condition. Last edited by ROYC75; 12-08-2014 at 07:27 PM.. |

Can the TE move to QB, and I move to TE? I know he's all conference, but he's only a sophomore, lots of time to learn a new position.
I'd be much more valuable to the team as a TE. I am inaccurate as a passer, but I can block and I can catch anything that touches my hands. |
