As competitive as he is the right choice is for him to retire so that he can spend time with his family and live at least a half-way normal life. His fate was sealed when his leg was gruesomely broken. So he should move and be thankful for the career he had. I think he would make a great QB coach if he desired it.

He also cannot perform his job. He has pathetic mobility after injury, can't plant, etc.

He should be grateful he had an owner, THE DAN, dumb enough to sign him to one of worst contracts in NFL history so he can limp off into the sunset with $60M+ for contributing nothing.

I want a QB coach who actually won something while playing the position. Might as well hire Tony Romo to teach a QB how not to choke, as Smith to teach QBs how to be great. You can only teach what you know. Nothing personal, but no thanks.
