Yeah it surprised no one that he became a QB coach, felt like it sucked for us at the time but he wanted to keep playing longer so he went to the Giants where he had a shot to be an actual backup where as here he might have had a shot to become the QB coach.
But with the Giants he did actually get to start the last game of the season when they rested their starters with seeding locked up and threw the only TD of his career, so probably worth it to him.
Still haven't seen anything mention on here or anywhere about Matt Barkley having aspirations or aptitude to be a QB coach besides the obvious being a QB.
