re: Aqib Talib on 2015 Cam Newton Panthers SB - "They ran like 9 plays, we knew we'd win"

Now, QBs basically just run what the OC tells them in the helmet mic and don't deviate if/when the defense changes the formation right before the snap.
It's why before Stafford McVay would have his QBs call quick plays in the huddle and rush to get set. Then McVay could read the defense before the headset and make a quick read/adjustment before the 15 second mark.

I mean, that's kind of a huge compliment to Cam though, right? They had 9 plays with Ted Ginn and Philly Brown as their top 2 WRs and he still won MVP and almost dragged them to a championship. Dude was unbelievable until that Pittsburgh injury permanently fricked him up

The Panthers lost that game because of Mike Remmers' inability to protect Cam's blind side from Von Miller, and Mike Shula's inability/unwillingness to max protect or adjust protection.
Oh, and Cotchery caught the ball.

I can’t believe a one-loss team led by Cam Newton was over-confident. All time gag. I think Von Miller just got another sack.

NFL QB play has been proven to operate on a dumbed down level for years and years now to adjust to the crop of QBs flooding the League from College.
This. While a lot of the QBs coming out of college these days are super athletic, few have what it takes between the ears to truly succeed against elite defenses.

Tom Brady has said it multiple times that QB play has been dumbed down exponentially.
Just go watch a game from 2015 or so and watch how many checks and audibles are called at the line by the QB. The watch today. It's Baoacally nonexistent.
When Phillips Rivers came back, it was like a time warp with all the line calls. It was so attention-getting because you never see or hear that anymore and you used to hear it all the time.
Now, QBs basically just run what the OC tells them in the helmet mic and don't deviate if/when the defense changes the formation right before the snap.
Just look at this brief clip talking about how much more complex offense and defense have gotten since 2018
If offenses were so simplified and QB play was so bad, how can they move the ball against these modern Ds?
