Not much in my opinion. Richard is having to blitz more than Quinn did because the pass rush hasn't been as good. Otherwise, I don't see that many changes in the way they play.
Well, we don't have a shitload of mediocrity this year, we have a few good teams, the remainder appear evenly divided between mediocre and shitty. Below is a distribution of winning percentage across the league:
You can see from here that more than a third of the league has won less than 40 percent of their games. Roughly the same number have won between 40 and 60 percent, and seven have won 60 percent or more.
Now, it is true that scoring is mostly mediocre, and is even skewed towards more points; below is the distribution of points for:
As we can see, more than half the league is between 200 and 250 points scored. Only three teams have scored fewer than 200 points, while 12 teams have scored more than 250 points. The problem is in points allowed:
This is a skewed distribution, where If we take the same criteria where we identified the range comprising half the league, only nine teams have allowed between 200 and 250 points. 17 teams have allowed more than 250 points, while only 6 teams have allowed fewer than 200 points.
In other words, more teams give up 250 points or more than score 250 points or more. Naturally, this leads to an effect where more teams have negative point differentials:
Again, we see that there are a few very good teams, and an equal number of mediocre/awful teams.
I'd still take him over anyone not names Brady or Rodgers. And the Steelers sure do know how to get him pass catchers. If the Steelers could defend the pass. They would be a nightmare.
That man is handsome.
rotf, same answer here, which just shows my age, in the 60's most of us never had decent access to weed until we went to college, these days I'm guessing the answer is closer to 10....
I don't know. I could be persuaded to take Brees or Rivers over Ben, but it is very close.
EDIT: I'd take Romo over all three, if Romo didn't have injury concerns.
92 hit Palmer so hard that every part of each player contacted the other except private parts. That's just physics and momentum, not a penalty.
KC Joyner not happy:
@KCJoynerTFS Home cooked officiating. Officials might as well wear the Seahawks colors. #PITvsSEA

Well the Steelers once beat the Patriots in a playoff game because the Pats held up on hitting their QB on his way out of bounds only he turned right and kept going so screw them.
You flip a bunch of coins 16 times in a row, and count heads as wins, you'll get some really "good" coins.
Im talking about when I watch the games, the levels of incompetence seem very high. Compared to the days of yore. Maybe I'm just grumpy.
But, I don't feel the same way about the NBA. The level of play in the NBA recently has been outstanding. The rosters are way smaller and the talent pool is way deeper than the NFL, I only bring it up to say I don't think I'm just pining for the olden days.
