“I really do think so,” Shipley said. “Tom wants to win at all costs. More than anybody I’ve ever seen. So if his name is on the Raiders, he will do everything he can to help that organization. What does that entail? He’s only the smartest quarterback that’s ever played the game. So I think he would 100 percent bend over backwards to take on that role.”

“He’s one of the smartest guys I’ve ever been around, and when you watch his ability to prepare, his ability to see the game before it happens, it’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before,” Shipley said. “When I watch that, there is so much stuff he can give to a young quarterback. I think he will love doing that.”
