I talked about Bob Sutton way back in the day and said that if he ever showed up on CP as a poster, he'd ****ing embarrass us. He'd absolutely massacre even the most knowledgeable amongst us.
And yeah, I'd guess that trickles down a bit. But I do wonder if college QBs would be quite enough. We might be getting there as college offenses get a little more complicated. But I don't think it used to be the case that many of those guys could come out and smoke us on the radio.
Maybe guys like Dorsey or Daniel - dudes who were really working through the game out there (and often ended up looking to coaching gigs at some point) but I don't think rank and file college QBs would really be next level.
I mean Ryan Leaf sometimes has some interesting insight but he also was in the NFL and did a little coaching as well.
Mostly I think you could take any swinging dick power 5 or above coordinator or HC and just make just about everyone else look silly.

Obviously people like that can bring a different insight which is always interesting. The issue I have is how many people literally don't know a god damn thing that have these jobs.
