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. 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.


I'm rewatching FNL and this is pissing me off more some reason.

yea that bothered me too. The writers weren't always consistent in the storylines.

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.

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

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.
