  • I been watching WR's run wide open, with no QB who could find them(or hit em) for years.....better hope all these new WR's have a good QB who can anticipate them getting open and then get em the ball(on time)....or....its just more of the same.....

  • You haven't named any observable metrics, you've described things you "feel" just must be true.

    1) Exactly how many yards rushing and passing per game define the flip of that switch? Why do these numbers define a switch flipping and not athletes doing.. what they do?

    2)You haven't defined how "often" defenses need to be "fooled" - twice per game? Twice per play? - and you have not defined what within the play earns a check in the box confirming that "The Defense Was Fooled."

    10 players on defense could be fooled but Josh Norman could make a great play, lay out and cause an INC.. and the result is still no gain on the stat sheet.. so it can't be the outcome of the play

    3) "previous coaching staffs have been in the dark" - What, precisely, defines a coaching staff being in the dark? The coaching staff could very well be fine but the RB could miss an assignment.. how are you abstracting the coaching staff from the play on the field?

    The chief issue is that you've described things that you want to see, and then described results after some "switch" does something. But you haven't described anything confirming that the switch is or isn't there in the first place! You're taking it as an article of faith that "of course" it's a thing... but I [and Tour, above] simply do not accept that assertion.

    Most clearly: What numerical items show that these positive outcomes could NOT exist without the switch flipping?

    Our head coach, starting QB, and whole WR corp are "in the dark" now. Why does it matter.
