His best asset was an amazing ability to read defenses quickly and accurately.

Also, it would have helped if he could see over the O-line.

This is pretty much the perfect answer. Spot on.

14 seasons in the NFL. I'd say he did alright. His brain was better than his physical abilities, so he only briefly

He was also a backup QB Coach as well is from what I heard.

That's probably overstating it, but yes he was the wise old veteran that could whisper into young player's ears, and he

Backed up Favre, Peete, Steve Young. Not alot of minutes there…

He exceeded many expectations. He was small w/o a great/strong arm.

Cougstreak

Not tremendous opportunities in terms of starting

Because, like Jimmer, no one gave him a chance!

MisterFundamentals

Jun 10, 11:35pm

14 years and multiple teams equals many chances. He was a great backup. Nothing

With the right coach he would’ve been better than Troy Aikman!

MisterFundamentals

I think he played for Andy Reid in Philadelphia. Can’t get better coaching than

Check that. Andy Reid coached later

He had Gruden as OC in Philly.
