I thought it was interesting to see that not everything was smooth sailing back in the day. Even in the glory days there were bumps in the road.

Doug Williams sure didn't like Jay Schroeder, huh? I guess there wasn't much to like from what I've read.
I read Doug Williams book a long long time ago. It's called Quarterblack. Jay S. was basically hated by everyone in the locker room according to Doug. I remember him saying that after Jay got a new contract that it really went to his head. He would try and correct Gibbs in the offensive meetings, crap like that. Some of the black players ( he did not mention who) believed that is was a racist thing because Gibbs kept going back to Jay. I also remember him saying that Jay's attitude was so bad during SB week that Gibbs almost brought up Rypien to 2nd string for that game.
