Wouldn't COMMON SENSE say somebody who has played the position at a high level be better served to coach it? Not just with nuances but with Matt having a level of respect and trust. Bratkowski is just a hiring from the good ol' boy network because he knows Mularkey. He will definitely help in gameplanning and be a good fallback should MM leave. I feel he's just being stashed away, which is fine if that's what the coaches feel is best for the longterm continuity of the offense.

Can a guy be a successful coach without having played or coached the position before? Sure. Would I prefer that??? No.

Did you know that Bill O Brien never played QB? Just curious. He played LB and DE in college.
