I don't think it has as much to do with the college game as it does the NFL's current obsession with offensive efficiency and being terrified of turnovers. Dink and dunk passing relying on YAC throwing downfield just enough to keep the D honest has become the norm. And honestly, that's probably because bend but don't break D has become the norm. Defenses are willingly giving up the short stuff relying on being able to bow up when the field gets shorter.

 

High risk passing offenses has become anathema to the modern NFL doctrine.

That is why TO prone gunslingers are out of fashion in a big way.

Probably talking about two different things but I think they intersect at the point of backyard football with the shift to prioritizing athleticism. Because athleticism pays off without having to do the development. 
You see it in OTs when scouts don’t know how to assess their aptitude for the pro game. 10-15 years at least. And you see it in the QBs too. 
I think it goes with the overall thing in society where instant gratification trumps all these days. If you buy into that.

It’s like Billy Bean took his on base percentage to the NFL. Zzzz. Yes it might work but watching it in action is boring.

I don't really agree. These eras have also featured the most average passing yardage in NFL history.

I am talking now. Did I miss something? Seems to me QB play is down too, outside of the exceptional players. I mean, an old guy can sit at home for 5 years and come right in and play. And plays better than a lot of them lol.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
