As a guy who doesn't root for any team but watches most games because of my gambling habit it's amazing how popular the sport is for such a mediocre product.

They'res literally two or three pretty good teams and a lot of awful to mediocre teams who will win between 6-9 games based on luck.

There is also so much bad qb play and when two bad qb's are facing each other it's literally unwatchable. Tonight will be Matt Hasselback and Ryan Mallet starting and will be an awful game yet will still get ratings :wow:

Say what you want about the nfl but the fact that they have such a popular product when it's not a good product and the whole leagues built to be between anywhere 6-10 and 10-6 is mind boggling.

The new rules that were implemented to increase scoring and fantasy football play has lowered the quality imo......

Yea I posted in the week 3 NFL thoughts thread that the product is pretty shytty right now. I can watch my team from minute 1 to 60 but the rest of these games are on as pretty much background noise, a majority of these games just aren't any good.

That's hurt the defenses but the lack of qb's and more importantly the hard cap is why the product is so bad. Teams change rosters so drastically year to year that they'res no continuity in the sport and they'res only so many players you can pay so no team can be overly talented.

Because of the hard cap a teams window to contend is 3 or 4 years at most. The only teams with long windows are ones with all time great qb's. Having Brady Manning or Rodgers will let you contend for a decade even with a mediocre team around the qb but without one you only have a few years to win.

Agreed. Gambling, fantasy, nothing else being on, constant controversies, and then Fandom are the reason football is as big as it is.
If you just watch the games they're boring as hell if you don't have a team or fantasy player in it (and fantasy is wack tbh and not for true fans of a team but that's another discussion). Snooze level status :snooze:

The GOAT sport on the otherhand CFB is filled with excitement every week. :blessed:

When the likes of Brady/Manning/Brees retire I believe teams will shift back to running.

Strong possibility.... They're asking way to much out of first year quarterbacks they force to start..... and on top of it, most coaches aren't gonna coach to their young QBs strength and bring them along slowly... like they did Big Ben and even Brady to an extent
