Sir_Tainly,
Fortunately, I never had that problem. We did, however, have a QB who thought he was the second coming of Johnny Unitas/Joe Namath/Roger Staubach and Fran Tarkenton all rolled into one. He kept saying that it didn't matter that the rest of us sucked because he was great enough to overcome our lack of ability.
Well, during one game in November, just before the playoffs, we were standing on the sideline when "someone" (possibly an inferior lineman) suggested that, since we had the game well in hand, it might be interesting to see how glamour boy managed with no one blocking for him. Someone seconded the idea and a conspiracy was born. Next offensive play, we all made "turnstile" blocks and glamour boy got kinda buried... broke his collar bone... ended his season (obviously).
We went into the playoffs with a freshman quarterback, our injured "star" saying we'd never get anywhere without him. The TEAM won our state's championship, going undefeated for the first time in school history. We repeated the feat the following year with that freshman, now a sophomore, having beaten out our "star," now a senior, for the starting QB job.
