Yes, that's what I mean though, people like Dan O. and Brady Quinn are on TV (soon, Baker maybe someday). Sanchez did go to AFC-C in his rookie year, he's on TV too. The credentials to be on TV don't matter that much I guess, but when a ring holder talks it's a little different than a non ring holder (Brady Quinn?).
That's why it's different when the GOAT talks (brady or jordan), and that's why the top 50 players basically bowed down when Jordan showed up at the all star game this year.
Barkley was a beast but he wasn't able to win a ring, there's more than talent needed to win a ring (if you watched the jordan documentary). You have to also overcome and manipulate politics and you have to be a different type of leader. That's why Rodgers has only 1 superbowl appearance IMO. But Barkley also suffers from what Rodgers suffers from, the GOAT taking all the rings away. I don't know which sport is more out of a player's control, NFL has a lot more players involved which would be difficult to control.
