Rise from the Ashes III
'My nightmare is your lesson': How former NFL QBs who struggled now coach top draft picks
Lorenzo Reyes, USA TODAY Published 2:10 p.m. ET April 21, 2018
Ryan Lindley was a few beers deep.
He was watching an NFL game and talking to his friends and agents at Rep 1 Sports, who were tracking another client. It was 2016. Lindley’s career as an NFL quarterback almost certainly was about to end. He was holding out hope that some team, any team, would call.
“Somehow, we got to talking about what they were doing to coach their quarterbacks coming up in the draft, and to be candid, those beers had me going off the cuff,” Lindley told USA TODAY Sports. “So I said to them, ‘You know, if you want somebody to do it well, you gotta get somebody who has played’ – kinda jokingly, but half-serious – ‘I’d do way better than anybody you’ve used so far.’ ”

How many of the great players have turned out to be good coaches?Not a whole lot.Seems like the average/fringe players seem to understand the little things and give their knowledge to players better than a Coach who was a big star and got by on talent and physical skills more than technique etc.
