I'll be amazed if he comes back as a quarterback. He may play again one day but I doubt it will be under center.

Ditto to that....but....why?

because his poor decision making off the field will keep him from being a good field general?

if he comes back and doesn't play the position he excelled in I think will be closely scrutinized.

Because I think that most teams market their quarterbacks as the face/icon of their organization and these days a quarterback's value is not just measuered with their on the field abilities but their off the field behavior.

/edit: Basically I don't think any team would take the risk of making him their front man again.
