So I have a question regarding this whole "Quarterback Whisperer" tag


I am wondering how that tag came about regarding Coach Fuente. Did he give it to himself? Did he start every conversation and every interview or press conference with the statement: "Just so you know, I am the quarterback whisperer." Did he go around wearing a t-shirt with QB Whisperer on it? We accuse him often of being a fake quarterback whisperer when he more than likely had nothing to do with the label. Did he develop qb's? No. It's obvious he and Corn were not player developers. But it is it fair to him to accuse him of not living up to a label that he had nothing to do with? He didn't live up to a lot of the expectations we all had. But should we be faulting him for something like this? I say no.
