This is his 4th year in (well near this year) league. He won’t make it. Maybe if he hadn’t had a crowd around him the last 6 years telling him not to listen to the critics they all hate him for his religion he could have made it, he might have been able to see and understand the flaws in his game and either change it or change his goals. But spending that time surrounded the chorus has left him grasping for a dream that won’t happen, and unwilling to take anything less. A little bit of arena league time could do him wonders, look what it did for Kurt Warner, but he won’t go. Switching positions could help, but he won’t go. He is either unwilling or unable to make any of the changes he’d need to get close to his dream. When you force reality to give you your whole dream or nothing a really high percentage of the time you get nothing.

That's a good point. And look at what the CFL did for Doug Flutie and Warren Moon. The only thing is that switching positions at the professional level is hard when you've been a quarterback for your whole life. That much I do get. It does happen sometimes (Tony Dungy, for example, was a quarterback in college and a defensive back in the NFL). Not unheard of, but hard.
