No. You're confusing inexperience with experience. You're also using a matter of coincidence and pure luck to justify a rather unique example.

Simple matter is, most people here couldn't call a play or diagnose a blitz scheme. 

So, yes, big difference. 

But I agree with you agreeing with me. 

I know nothing about your mom, and such wouldn't try to make such assumptions.

But I do know several women who DO know football and never played a down, who have proved they knew more about the game than men who did play.  And I must say it was hysterical to watch!

You don't have to play football to learn offensive or defensive schemes, principals, or concepts.

You don't have to play football to chart a game and understand a team's tendencies.

The only thing that being a former player adds is the intimate knowledge of the pain, intensity, and sacrifice it takes to be successful as a player.
