Former Giants quarterback Jeff Hostetler was at Patriots training camp on Tuesday, visiting his nephew (rookie tight end Jonathan Stupar), and Belichick pointed out that the players could learn a lot from Hostetler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borgoguy Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Yeah, that's right Bellicheat, they can learn much from that guy. They can learn to bitch and moan when you are at Penn State--because you are not good enough to start--until you weasel your way to West Virginia. Then you take this same attitude to the Giants and make Simms' life a disaster. You were another Trent Dilfer: an average QB in the perfect system for your skills.

kelticwizard Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Yeah, that's right Bellicheat, they can learn much from that guy [Hostetler]. They can learn to bitch and moan when you are at Penn State--because you are not good enough to start--until you weasel your way to West Virginia. Glad to see you're not holding a grudge. He was in Penn State in what-the seventies? Besides, he was good enough to be considered one of the best QB's in the country his senior year at West Virgina-so how bad could he have been at Penn State? Then you take this same attitude to the Giants and make Simms' life a disaster. You were another Trent Dilfer: an average QB in the perfect system for your skills. Early in his career there was no question at all Simms was ahead of Hostetler. Not until Hostetler took over late in the 1990 season due to Simms' injury and led the Giants through the playoffs and to victory in Parcells' second SuperBowl. After which there was a controversy, but how could there not be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After which there was a controversy, but how could there not be? Damn, and I was really trying to hide my frustration with the guy. As usual, I probably went a little overboard, but those of us at PSU at the time (it was 1980 BTW) really hated how he handled the whole situation. It's not that he was bad, he just wasn't as good as Todd Blackledge, believe it or not. (Blackledge: can you say NFL bust?) You get beat out, you get beat out. He made it into a soap opera. Promise, I'll take a deep breath if Hoss' name comes up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promise, I'll take a deep breath if Hoss' name comes up again. If you were at the school watching it up close while it happened, that changes everything. It's just that for those of us who were not Penn State fans or students, the first thing we ever heard about Hostetler was that he was a pretty good QB for West Virginia, raising them from a merely regional power to a national power. He was mentioned by some as a possible first round pick, eventually going in the third round though. After that he toiled in NFL obscurity, no threat to start until he stepped in and did so nicely in the 1990 season. Scott Brunner was the QB who took the job from Simms for a year early in his career, not Hostetler. If you were a student there I don't blame you for bringing this up. It's just that not knowing that, I figured you were some guy in Brooklyn who read a short piece in the Daily News about how Hostetler was complaining about being beaten out back then, and 28 years later you still hadn't let it go, LOL.

In retrospect, it probably was the right move for Hoss to complain. How else would he have gotten to start for the Mountaineers and get into the NFL? I was a grad student at the time, and didn't have as much time for football as the undergrads. Let me just say that those maniacs in Happy Valley would have joyously strung Hostetler up right in Beaver Stadium, especially when it was revealed that he went to our arch rival West Virginia.

He's probably one of the ones laughing while the entire stadium threw marshmallows at us. In the rain. Chanting "marshmallows.... marshmallows". **** Happy Valley. Lucky you ran off to the Big 10!
