With the Brett Farve & Aaron Rodgers developments lingering, The Maltz thought he'd bring to your attention a great article in Sports Illustrated the week of July 7th that discussed quarterbacks who've had the not so enviable role succeeding a legend. Long story short, the article listed a bunch of quarterbacks and their subsequent failures to not only win, but to win the hearts of the fans as well.
Here is a great quote from Cliff Stoudt, who succeeded Terry Bradshaw (Steelers) in 1983 after six years as a backup. Referring to the relentless booing he received after launching almost twice as many INTs as TD passes (21 to 12) in his first year, Stoudt later said, "I tried to commit suicide, but the bullet got intercepted."
