This is very true; however, with the way that play books are drawn up now, as apposed to the 80's especially with this west coast offense, players have to be somewhat intellegent. When I say intellegent the only thing I'm saying is smart enough to realize that you have to memorize a pretty thick playbook. They all know the game of football. It just comes down to intead of watching TV all night or whaterver, just memorize a playbook, its not that hard.
