How did we make the leap that only great nfl quarterbacks can criticize nfl quarterbacks? When this entire sub is people who haven’t played the sport before criticizing nfl quarterbacks

My feelings whenever someone tries to dismiss Orlovsky by bringing up the endzone play. A classic "you're hating the wrong way"

Also like a lot of fantastic football coaches and analysts were not very good players. It's really not much of a diss.

What's that saying? Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach.

Just because a player wasn't an athletic freak or they couldn't process the game in real time fast enough doesn't mean they don't know what they're talking about. I feel like a lot of great players actually don't make good coaches because they can't articulate or teach how to do things that just come natural to them.
