David Legree: What's wrong with you?

Rumors have become reality today as Donnie Webb from the Post-Standard has reported that sophomore quarterback David Legree has quit the football team.

Again.

As this deja vu hits Orange fans for the second year in a row, you have to think. What is wrong with this kid? In my opinion, Legree is lucky to be back in the first place. Marrone could have just as easily kept him out when he took the team and made an example of him.

But, hey. Lets be fair here. Maybe there is a legitimate reason. A new coaching staff definitely could merit transfers from players and is completely understandable. I mean, Legree didn't sign up to play for Marrone right? He signed up to play for the Greg Robinson staff. Oh but wait. Legree has now quit for two different coaches at Syracuse: Once on Greg Robinson, and now on Doug Marrone. 

It is pretty obvious that this kid thinks he is better than he is, as his decision to leave the team comes only a day after he is named the third string quarterback on the depth chart. Too bad this kid didn't have any desire to compete and win, because I've seen him throw and he has a good arm. Someone should have told him that a depth chart in April can change completely come season time. 

Don't believe me? Look at Andrew Robinson. Last year at this time he was our savior as our new starting quarterback replacing Perry Patterson. He is now a tight end. And then there was Doug Hogue. Last year at this time? Running back. Now? Linebacker. 

But even looking beyond position changes, depth chart changes alone should have given the kid confidence. Cam Dantley has already been replaced as a starter. Point being, he could have earned his way to a starting position if he was as good as he thinks he is.

But now, he's done nothing but waste a free ride that he had to Syracuse University. Hate to say it David... But your not going to transfer to many exciting places if you are the third string quarterback for the Syracuse Orange... especially given the current state of the football program. 

FYI: THe Orange are now down to two quarterbacks on the depth chart, but have incoming quarterback Charley Loeb from Lawrence Academy.
