Monday Morning Quarterback

With little experience he was given tremendous responsibility. In the national spotlight he made disastrous decisions at critical junctures. While his teammates tried to bear some of the blame, it was plain to everyone he was in over his head and, really, the ballgame was lost because of him. Those who should have known better were enamored by his enthusiasm, energy, and youth and should never have allowed him such leeway after the first fumble. Maybe they'll all remember this lesson the next time, if there is one.
