Remember the Titans (except for this one stupid part)

I realize I’m the only person over the age of 11 who loves the movie Remember the Titans. Yes, I know it’s Disney-fied, but I still love watching it. It's got Denzel, football and Virginia for fuck's sake. But one thing that always bugs the shit outta me is the recurring theme that Ronnie Bass (Sunshine) as the backup qb cannot pitch the ball to the tailback. He keeps botching it in practice, and when he’s finally inserted after the Rev gets hurt he panics, screeching to Denzel to not put him in cause he can’t make the pitch to the tailback while running the option.

Really? Yet in the first fucking scene we have with Sunshine he picks up a ball and nails a dude in the back on purpose from 40 yards away. Bullseye. He gets in the game and is winging the ball all over the place Joe Montana style (in real life Bass went on to star at South Carolina.) Yet for some reason, even though we see he can put the ball wherever he wants all over the field, we’re supposed to believe he can’t toss the ball 4 yards to his teammate? What? Isn’t this like me saying that I can go all night satisfying a porn star in the sack but can’t jerk off? Camon!!
