Game Thread: The game so bad we didn't even have a thread for it (Bears vs Lions reaction thread)

Still waiting for someone in this thread to name me a QB that was "ruined" by coaches.

It's apparently really common.

Most of them really.

Each year about 10 QB are drafted in the NFL. Scouting reports highlight their strengths and weaknesses. Talent and strengths only gets them so far. If the weaknesses are not fixed they will not make it in the NFL.

Admitedly, you will probably never see in print that a coach or staff "ruined" a QB. But if their job is to train and fix the weaknesses to make the QB successful in the NFL, the trail of unsuccessful QB is a long list.

If jumping to the NFL did not make them better, or as good as they were in college, than what can we conclude except they were made worse or ruined in the NFL?

You cant coach talent.....you just cant....yes,you can coach them on what they are doing wrong to make them better....if they dont get better,then blame the player,not the coach.....

Tom Brady was a 6th rd pick for a reason,do you honestly think coaching made him the player he is....?

I dont believe for a minute.....Its the talent he brings to the field that made him to what he is......

Because if you believe it was the coach,why doesnt all the teams want that qb coach then.......

Its talent.....plain and simple.

Bill Belicek sucked in Cleveland....Brady took him to where hes at....

What happened to Jimmy Johnson after the Dallas days....?

What happened to Phil Jackson after the Chicago/Laker era was over.....
Goes to the Knicks and now you never hear about him.....

If a player does not have talent all the coaching in world is not gonna help......

And one more thing.....theres a huge huge difference from the NFL than college.....

In the Nfl players do not play vs kids just removed from highschool like college players do.......
