Pretty cool look at what goes into the Pats play calls. Crazy the amount of info they have to process |

Understanding an NFL playbook would not be that difficult, even for the quarterback.
Once you crack the verbiage, there are relatively few unique terms and it becomes a series of four or five piece puzzles you have to fit together. O-City, imagine all of the metabolic pathways you had to learn.

reminds me of a scene in an nfl films show on brett favre
a very young coach is standing on sideline next to him on game day, quite exasperated, complaining that it's damn hard to be a coordinator. brett is just lookin at him stone face and dead pans "you should try quarterback sometime". |

But that would be like have 30 seconds to write out the metabolic pathway of staph before the professor asks for the viral reproduction stoppage of (insert virus). It's obviously doable, but I can see why the best are the best |

Quarterback is infinitely more difficult than dentistry. Dentistry has better hours, and no pounding by a juiced up linebacker or strong safety . Quarterbacks don't have to deal with pathogens that can kill if mishandled.

Probably extremely difficult considering only 32 people in the whole world can do it. And only about half of those truly excel at it
