Why'd they frick up JD McCoy's character?

I've seen a few instances in various online places that state it's due to the writer's strike & all the uncertainty with NBC at the time of the show's run.

that said, going from sheltered to QB1 at Dillon isn't that much a stretch to turn a HS kid into a douche.

I love this show but dang I felt like Riggins was in high school forever

In season 3, he's this sheltered kid with an overbearing father but with a golden arm. It was an interesting dynamic. And then in season 4, they turn him into a punk arse bitch who is full of himself.

In my experience with high school football players this is the natural progression.

quote:

---

Then in season 5, when he's supposed to be a junior at Dillon, he's no longer the quarterback and it's never explained why.

Dad probably blamed the school for losing to Vince and Co. and moved his kid to another school. Once again, this is the natural progression.

JD McCoy was the comedic humor in his first season. He was the young kid who was just trying to fit in.

Then once he became THE man, his personality changed like it would with a lot of 15-year-olds who are the starting QB at their Texas high schools. He was a pussy, then became the alpha that probably pulled threesomes with Dillon cheerleaders and their moms.

Also, Landry would have had to have been in middle school at the beginning of the show to still attend East Dillon. Unless I'm mistaken, Riggins was a sophomore at the beginning that somehow was best friends with a senior quarterback, which is SO realistic, right?

Regardless, Voodoo Tatum is the GOAT.
