Yeah, and the same person who is throwing it hyper-aggressively 20+ yds in the air into tight windows on 75% of throws leading to 4 INT games they blame on unrealistic coverage, is often the same guy who can speak with reasonable intelligence about football strategy while relaxed & watching an NFL game. And because they DO have some football knowledge, they assume their in-game decisions reflect NFL decision-making, and are often hard to convince otherwise.
But the uncomfortable truth is that knowing something and having that knowledge inform your decision-making in the fast-moving heat of the moment are far from the same thing.
That's the complexity of it--often you are NOT talking about football imbeciles who don't know crap about the game. You are talking about people who do know some football or occasionally even a LOT about football. Our league has multiple IRL HS coaches. At least one has probably forgotten more about OL/DL technique in the past year than I'll ever know. But he's one of the least realistic decision-makers in the league and I gave up trying to reason with him in that regard a long time ago.
