Watch how fast they get off the line and watch their hand usage and ankle flexion at their size.

I don’t think contracts are a problem in what’s going on with play. The top end contracts got bloated, but almost all of the middle class is gone now and replaced with rookie contract and vet min guys.

Play callers are the juice. Take for instance the 2016 falcons. They had Kyle Shanahan calling plays. He left and the falcons let their whole offensive coaching staff go except for Raheem Morris who isn’t even an offensive coach. They had scored the second most points through the playoffs up until that point at somewhere around 33PPG and Matt Ryan won MVP. The next year they brought in Sarkasian and were lucky to score 20 per game.

ESPN once had a two INT Charlie Batch game as its best game under QBR. Then they went back and fixed their model.

It was just a few days ago that people were saying that the media and fans were against Arthur and had never seen a group want a head coach to actively fail.
