I think he had some deep seeded confidence issues that we'll never understand.
But the main thing Alex did was be a welcoming, positive influence on Pat. He could have easily gone the Favre route and been a total dick, but didn't.
Anyway, I wish him well in retirement. And I think he'd make a fine QB coach.

He talked about this once. I believe Utah asked him to speak at a graduation years after he had been drafted. IIRC, he said he would basically be telling himself "Don't **** up, don't **** up". He didn't use those words, obv, but it mirrored his play on the field.
Dude had all the tools to be a great QB, even after ****ing up his shoulder; he was just never able to let his nuts hang.
