Question for someone in the know:

Did Robertson walk away from football knowing that Bradshaw was going to eventually supplant him as the starter?

If Terry was a freshmen was he was Phil's backup and got playing time, I am curious if he was promised the starting job going into his sophomore year. Phil gets pissed (think Tom Brady and Drew Henson)

I have read what Phil has stated in the past about how Bradshaw was his backup, and he walked away to be outdoors, but I was curious if someone in the know can shed some insight outside of Robertson's.

Could true freshmen even play back then? I remember Pistol Pete couldn't play varsity as a freshman.

Phil Robertson was a really shitty QB, regardless of what the revisionist history now says

And keep in mind this was a different era. Football players weren't making massive amounts of money. So Phil was probably… eh f' this football junk.
