Yeah, another QB that didn't succeed in the NFL teaching an MVP QB how to QB.  Sounds like a plan for success.

I don't remember who it was, some old school coach said the best coaches weren't the best players, they were the shitty players who tried like hell to get better.

I never understood that myself.  My only conclusion is that they just really want to coach and there is just not a lot of HOF QBs standing in line to be a coach.  I'm pretty sure it applies to other positions as well.  That's my theory anyway.

Just makes you wonder....

They may not be HOF material, but they may have a lot of NFL experience. For some reason Matt Hasselbeck immediately comes to mind. Jon Kitna, etc. Vets who have all kinds of experience on all kinds of teams facing all kinds of opponents. They could def tell you the do's and don'ts. I feel like even more so the donts.

That may be true but those two (Weinke and Dorsey) ain't one of them.

It's often true.

Great players tend to be super talented and frequently fail to understand that everybody else may not be.

No.  He worked with him in the off-season once or twice.  Not the same.

You are wrong. I dug up a couple of old articles for you to look at.

You're the one who said he only worked with Weinke a time or two -  I showed you that you are wrong.   As I remember it,  Cam was there for at least a couple of weeks and Weinke worked on mechanics and also helped him understand the playbook .  And yes he cleaned up or attempted to, some of Cam's bad habits - something that Dorsey and Shula apparently had little success with because he has not had the success of that initial year in the last two years.

I wouldn't mind Kitna... that dude made up for his very average talent with hard work and solid mechanics. Something that can be taught, and Cam might very well listen to.

 

However, my first choice would be this guy:

Wait.. wrong Wade Wilson...

 

THIS guy!!!

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
