Top Ten Movies About Football - Quarterback Edition

#5 - Shane Falco - "The Replacements"

After developing a reputation for being a softy and pretty much living in shame with the stigma, 'Footsteps' Falco being labeled to his name after the Sugar Bowl debacle, Shane gets another shot. A strike-shortened season leads the league to bring in replacement players or scrubs to finish out the year. These guys are horrible until Falco steps up and becomes a leader and starts wanting the ball with the game on the line. He rallies the team and his life and takes the team to the playoffs. Shane becomes a winner and he gets his teammates to buy into the philosophy. Guys like Clifford Franklin, who has worst hands than me start to develop into the real deal.

Clifford Franklin: The football's like a one-man cold to Clifford Franklin. Clifford Franklin's the only man catchin' it, Clifford Franklin's the only man comin' down wid it.
