Jack Elway, son of Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway, has decided to leave the Arizona State football team.

Elway, a redshirt freshman quarterback, will remain at Arizona State as a student, however.

"He's just tired of football and wants to do something else with his life," Sun Devils coach Dennis Erickson said Monday, according to The Arizona Republic. "He made a decision, and we all understand it. He would have played here eventually."

Elway, who was in a five-way battle for the starting quarterback job this fall, was considered to be behind senior Danny Sullivan and redshirt sophomore Samson Szakacsy on the depth chart, with sophomore Chasen Stangel and freshman Brock Osweiler also in the mix.

Elway, out of Cherry Creek (Colo.) High School, did not play in a scrimmage last weekend.

Phil Simms was NOT a superstart QB but his son is not even CLOSE to being the QB his dad was. This may be a case of JACK ELWAY isn't that good.

being 5 deep may just be a smoke screen.

possible, but it could also be he's been pressured into being the Peyton to John's Archie and he never really wanted it.

That probably was not an easy thing to do. I respect the kid for wanting to be himself and not his dad.

Elway sold his dealerships to AutoNation years ago. Restaurants, the Colorado arenal league team, financial markets and bull semen are where Big John makes his $ these days.

It is not a total loss. Last I heard, he was going to the glue factory.

You allude to a horse-like appearance then cleverly mesh that with a remark regarding a glue factory, the well-known mythical endpoint for old horses. In turn you seek to illicit a response that arises from the intended humor and attempted cleverness of your statement. The most striking feature of your effort is its originality and freshness.

Who's says he's not following in Dad's footsteps?

There's still PLENTY of boozing to be done in his life, especially in college.
See, look for the positive connections that bind!
