What rule switch 19 years ago?

Are you talking about illegal contact?

In general, these guys are such athletic freaks now, that they never learned to read a defense or really learned the game. They didn’t have to.

I think football in general went away from developing players and instead went towards developing athletes. Guys with a good head for the game never get a chance at QB because it’s easy to call QB sweep left and QB sweep right at the HS level with good athletes. These guys go to college and rarely have a coach that makes them better QBs.

Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Eli Manning, etc. would have never been given a shot in todays climate. They would’ve been asked to move to Tight End.
