Clue/Question:  The new quarterback didn’t get excited about much.  The coach worried that he was too – – –

Answer:  PASSIVE

(I’m more than a little surprised that the answer wasn’t “PASS”-IVE.   Or, would it be “PASS-IVE”?  Something like that.  It’s only semi-punny this way.  We did have a new clue word this day, in “waive”.  ralis95 can add this to his clue word database too.  All the jumblings appear to be new as well.  Nice job on the answer letter layout.  It’s nicely cryptic.  The cartoon got the job done.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
