He languished in the old Continental Basketball Association for seven years because no one in the NBA would give him a chance. When he got a chance, he stuck for 8 years.

Sometimes - make that oftentimes - coaches sit the better player for whatever reason. Look at Dexter Williams. He languished on the bench for three years even though he was clearly the better running back than Josh Adams.

  - I also don’t get the feeling he was obstreperous. [NT] - Frank L - 11:07am 2/14/20
  - Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, Jalen Hurts...many QBs disagree with you. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 2:28pm 2/2/20
  - So they recruited a bad QB. He was recruited because he would fit “ the system”. He wasn’t played - whatsamataU - 9:21pm 2/1/20

    - Adams was a more productive player than Williams [LINK] - CC72 - 12:06pm 2/2/20
      - I'm sorry, but what does production have to do with it? You can cite all the statistics you want - lacan - 2:59pm 2/2/20
        You Are Delusional [NT] - CC72 - 7:01pm 2/2/20
        "what does production have to do with it" didn't clue you in? [NT] - lacan - 11:24pm 2/2/20
        You appear to be clueless [NT] - CC72 - 2:56pm 2/3/20
        Just to be clear, since I started following ND football in the mid-2000s, Adams wasn't only, - lacan - 3:34pm 2/3/20
    - Though true, you'll never convince the board about the Dex vs. Josh Adams piece. [NT] - oldirish - 8:59pm 2/1/20
- I think he’ll do fine at BC and make the ND coaches look silly. He’s a good kid. [NT] - jray - 10:52am 2/1/20
  - I wish PJ all the success in the world, happy he picked BC, but make ND coaches look silly? - cubsfanin16 - 11:41am 2/1/20
    - Obviously correct. [NT] - Frank L - 11:08am 2/14/20
    - No issue with Book winning the job. There were some games where PJ should have received more reps. - jray - 3:19pm 2/1/20
      - if PJ was good he would have gotten reps, but the gap was too wide [NT] - holybull101 - 4:04pm 2/1/20
        From what I’ve read Montana wasn’t any outstanding practice QB but the rest is history. Thank God he - whatsamataU - 9:25am 2/2/20
        
        This is often the most overlooked fact of the PJ phenomenon. [NT] - oldirish - 9:01pm 2/1/20
      - There were games I wanted more of Phil, but I have noticed; [NT] - cubsfanin16 - 3:55pm 2/1/20

- This is beyond “Belief”... [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 9:24am 2/1/20
- It's pretty evident in what he has said that he did not believe the coaches had faith in - DadUdaMan4 - 8:37am 2/1/20
  - Dayne Crist 2.0. New setting may help his confidence, but he had none at ND. The coaches weren't - BaronVonZemo - 3:18pm 2/1/20
    - How do you show confidence when your coaches stick you in a corner. - Aragoto - 9:09pm 2/1/20
      - Crist was a deer in headlights at ND. PJ was also. Spring Games were too much.New setting might help [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 1:15am 2/2/20
        Spring game was in the rear view mirror. According to kelly himself. - Aragoto - 10:19am 2/2/20
