I think that the changes you are seeing I'm NFL offenses is significantly impacted by the rule changes put in place to protect QBs.

Totally agree. QB's today run a completely different offense than what was run in the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. Of course today's QB's are going to have more impressive passing yardage and TD's than QB's from that era. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that today's QB's are better than the QB's back then. If QB's back then ran the same offenses that are run today, they would have comparable numbers.

On top of all of that the rule changes today all cater to the offense.

In the 50's and 60's the QB called ALL the plays in the NFL. Tom Landry was the guy that changed that, and Dom Merideth retired early because of it.

I'm just saying. If you were going to run any form of RPO concept against the 1986 NY Giants, you better have 8-9 QBs on your roster.

It's crazy that he is doing what he is doing with a bottom 3 offensive line in the league.

That's the key - Burrow is doing all of this with a crappy OL which, obviously, is the weak link on the Bengals. Not too hard to guess what position group they'll be concentrating on in the draft and off season.

It's not just Burrow, though. The list of young QBs in the AFC is off the charts - probably the best group I can remember. Mahomes, Burrow, Allen, Herbert and L. Jackson are all 26 years old or younger. Just crazy

I just started thinking about this the poorest team in the NFL made the superbowl.....let that sink in....a team that does not even have an indoor practice facility.....

Speaking of the Bengals ol did you know that Burrow's center is Trey Hopkins an ol from TX, And Joseph Ossai was drafted by the Bengals last year.

You talking about undrafted Trey Hopkins wow....he has a chance to win a ring to put on the wall at UT unbelievable...good for him.
