Forgotten UK Quarterbacks: Why competition, controversy hurts the position

Over the past decade or so, Kentucky has continually struggled to find consistency in their quarterback. And, in the process, it’s actually hurt the position. What is usually regarded as the “star” position of the team can quickly become forgettable when the starting spot acts like a revolving door.

Last season, Stephen Johnson was The Guy for Kentucky. He proved time and time again he was the right person for the job. And even so, there was constantly call from a small group of fans to put in the backup QB, Drew Barker. As someone who was a fierce Team SJ member, I was frustrated with this part of our fan base.
