“Watch this quarterback for us. He may be the best ever,” I instructed Jay Shapiro, class of 1977 at Middlebury (father of Melissa ’13), at the Middlebury-Amherst College football game on Parents’ Weekend this fall.

Skeptical, he asked, “Better than Peter Mackey?”

The next week, Jeff Mackay ’65 came through and I said the same thing to him. He replied, “Better than Charlie Brush?” acknowledging the best of his era.

Is Don McKillop, the Panther quarterback for the past four years, the best ever to play this position in over a century of football at the college?
