As a guy on the couch, I will very shallowly agree that half field reads and pre determined, instant screens bug the everloving shit out of me. When the get sniffed out they look SO god damned awful.

This is an oline problem, again, still always. Two ways. Teams with bad o lines give QBs less time, requiring QBs to process faster, duh. Teams with bad olines increase the importance of a top QB by weakening the running game.

Why has this happened? Because the guys that should be top tier o linemen all play dline. Dline men get sexy stats, recognition, and giant contracts; most o linemen hope their name isnt called by the announcer on Sunday.

Additionally, olinemen probably suffer the most from the reduction in padded practices in the last couple of CBAs.
