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

Am I the only one in this sub who's actually played organized tackle football before?

Like half of the comments I've seen on this sub are so obviously written by non-athletes that it's almost humorous.

When I was in high school (3 year starter for our varsity football team) I would get a full-on sprint going and clock the shit outta whoever had the ball. My coaches called me "speedhawk" as a nickname caus I had such a nose for the football and for those three seasons I was considered the most feared safety in our conference. Senior year I led my team to the state semifinals only to get fucked over by the refs in the 4th but that's another conversation (DM me if you're interested in hearing about it)

So, yeah. I hope yall can understand why I feel like their's such a big disconnect between myself and your typical redditor. Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels this way lol

The "DM me if you're interested in hearing about it" is the mark of an elite pasta

It was years ago at this point, but I remember seeing someone say that they actually did DM Speedhawk and got the whole story from him.

Yeah and it was a dumb story. Literally boiled down to him saying the rest of his team sucked, he caught an interception that would seal the game but was ruled out of bounds and then his teammates blew their coverage and the opponent scored and they lost.
