QB play is actually better than it was 15 years ago.
If you dont find the game as entertaining that's fine...but coaches have adapted. Belichick isnt going to hand the ball off 40 times to "establish the run" when he knows that isnt productive.
only 2 out of NFLs 32 teams had less than 3200 yards passing in 2015

2010: 5 players threw for 4000 yards
7 more threw for 3500 or more
New rules make mediocre QB's look good and I said this back in 2012 that it would hurt.
fukkin Tannehill and Cousins threw for 4k
Oh and Bridgewater threw for 3231 so there was actually only one. I won't ever stop watching and truly only bytch about in threads like this (because most fans don't give a fukk) but it has watered down the product. Makes trash look like treasure but that's what the NFL always wanted. High scoring games that help bring parity to the league.

He has Brady im talking guys like Stafford and Bortles putting up numbers Montana never did
If you like arena league football cool I prefer more of a balance and some defense to be played not a league where only qb's matter
The teams that play defense are in the playoffs. The Jags defense sucked, so were forced to throw a lot.
Teams that play "defense" nowadays are still getting shredded through the air
Not really. Seattle, Denver, Carolina and Arizona are all very good against the pass.

McCown was slanging that thing for like 300+ yards every game for the Browns.

Fukk your corny debates
This why I barely care that the Saints had an historical bad defense. It hard to put it into historical context in the new state of affairs. I don't even care Drew passed Dan Marino in yards.
in 2006 half the league (16 teams) had less than 3200 yards passing
13 teams in 2015 had over 4k yards passing
3 teams in 2006 had over 4k yards passing
national passing league
Why Is The Year 2006 Specifically Being Compared?

It was just under a decade ago. Decent benchmark for change is ten years.

When you got nikkas like Brian Hoyer, Josh Mcclown, Old ass matt hassellback n them out here throwing for 200 or 300+ on any given night you know this shyt getting soft. This really a QB's league when you got backups and dudes who were out on the street days ago just tossing multiple TDs like it's nothing. So easy for offenses to keep drives alive with flags after every other play.
That said NFL brand fukkery is still top class entertainment

The game has changed but everything cycles back. Don't worry it will still be entertaining regardless.
I laugh when people say the QB position is poor league wide in other threads 
Just cuz your teams qb ain't throwing 5000 yards doesn't mean the qb position isn't the strongest it's ever been

The receivers are carrying these qbs cause the dbs aren't allowed to do anything. But running teams win. So its whatever during the regular season but only a team with a good rushing attack will win the bowl most likely.
