- QBs athleticism and arm strength is more valued than their decision making skills and ability to read the defense. So when defenses force the QB to stay in the pocket, they miss all their reads and settle for a screen. 2) The run game isn’t used as much as it used to be. So instead of 2nd and 7, it’s 2nd and 10 a lot more which is a passing down and defenses are better prepared

There is a giant emphasis on having a big athletic quarterback, even though if you go back and look at Super Bowl winning QBs, almost none of them are like that. The QBs that win are more often than not pocket passers who make good decisions and can throw the ball downfield. Makes no sense why teams don’t build around QBs like that anymore. Daniel Jones for example is a terrible QB. Has been given 5 years to prove himself and hasn’t really improved at all since his rookie year. But he is athletic and can run, so he gets a chance.. again, makes absolutely no sense
Bros fighting the wrong battles… mentally weak team
Get ready for next year when players will get suspended for breathing on QBs
