   European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - August 25, 1994, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 30 the stars and stripes sports thursday August 25,1994 quarterbacks on the move in nil by Barry Wilner the associated press forget the Dei Oft strut and Givins Glide. The nil dance craze of the 90s is the quarterback shuffle. Just about everybody is doing it. Of the 28 nil teams just eight did not make any significant quarterback moves. Theother 20 bogeyed through free Agency and the Advent of the salary Cap in a head spinning series of Maneu vers that would do Michael Jackson proud. Quarterback traditionally has been a position characterized by stability and Long Terni tenure says Leigh Steinberg who represents Many of the top quarterbacks in the game. " traditional football Wisdom dictates there be familiarity of a quarterback with playbook terminology that he has inter action with the receivers and line which comes Over time. Each year of stability adds to a quarterback s performance. Along up Mes the salary Cap and i turns traditional football Wisdom on its head. We have seen the most stunning shift of personnel in the modern history of the nil both at the starting and re serve quarterback  that shift brought new starters i three of the five pfc Central cities and possibly a fourth if Rookie Trent Dilfer takes the Job at Tampa Bay. It meant a different no. 1 quarterback for each pfc West team except the 49ers, who merely lost their Superb backup Steve Bono to Kansas City. Rypien Moon it forced High priced veterans such As Mark Rypien Jim Harbaugh and Warre Moon to move elsewhere. The salary Cap was a major Factor in the premature retirement of Phil Simms from the giants who forced him off the Field and into the esp Booth. Free Agency can be a positive if the Guys who Nave worked their Butts off to become stars weren t the ones suffering says Moon who was traded or exiled from Houston where he guided the Oil ers to seven straight playoff berths to Minnesota. But Guys who played a Long time and Are making Good Money Are the first Guys to go. It s not a Good thing. To the salary Cap definitely was needed keep salaries in control but you Don like what s happening at the beginning Here with some of the stars suffering the  such As Simms who was recovering from shoulder surgery when he was called into coach Dan Reeves office and told his 15-year career As the Best quarterback in giants history was Over. I was coming off a pro bowl year i had a great season but i had a High salary and then i was let go suddenly Simms says. How can you say that it had nothing to do with the salary Cap when it had everything to do with it. The old Guys with the big salaries have a bomb on our  those veterans Rypien Moon Harbaugh Dave Krieg Bernie Kosar Jim Everett Chris Miller Jim Mcmahon become transients., and unproven youngsters such As Elvis Grbac 49ersvdave Brown and Kent Graham giant seven rookies Heath Shuler redskins and Trent Dilfer Bucare placed unimportant spots they previously could t have dreamed of so Early in their careers. The Tutelage process that has been a tradition in football for Young promising quarterbacks where they spent several years on the sidelines and in the class room learning has gone out the win Dow Steinberg says. So the Cap takes away the ability for a club to have two or three highly paid quarterbacks waiting in the wings to re place a starter. The immediate effect of that is of team like the 49ers loses Steve Young to injury Grbac would replace him. The second quarterback position be came the obvious and convenient Way for a club to slash salaries and the concept of a quarterback in waiting  the upheaval stretched from teams at the top to those at the Bottom. Every team in the pfc West made a change with san Francisco losing Bono the rams signing Miller and letting Everett go to new Orleans and the Falcons Trad ing for Jeff George. Simms and Rypien major factors in their teams winning the super bowl in this decade were unceremoniously dumped. Not every Veteran passer was Hurt by the change in approach. Moon made out just Fine in the Trade to the Vikings. Ber Nie Kosar went Back to Miami where he led the hurricanes to the National title and will Back up Dan Marino instead of Troy air Nan and Marino comes off a major injury. Bono gets to work behind his close Friend Joe Montana with the chiefs and Montana can t be expected to Start every week. Steinberg thinks the quarterback shuffle is a fad an aberration caused by the newness of the salary Cap. I believe what was Good financial wis Dom in March will Lead to disaster on the Field in november he said. As front line quarterbacks go Down to be replaced by inexperienced Low paid backups Divi Sion races will be determined in Many cases by that  sports scoreboard from Page 29 Eastern division w marlins 38 20 expos 3 23mots 31 25 bravos 12 44 Western division,.45 11 1826 34 3435 37 pet.
