You are usually a really good poster, but this is maybe your dumbest post. Literally all football games are 3-3.5 hours.

ust seems like lack of competent QB play plays so big of a role.


What? Seems to me like the QB position is actually quite loaded

But most of the "name" and most-marketable quarterbacks are all having problems.

Peyton Manning is done.
Tom Brady is even more unlikable now.
Drew Brees is on a bad football team.
Aaron Rodgers' numbers are in decline with no receivers.
Russell Wilson is just not that good.
Matt Ryan is going nowhere.
Tony Romo is injured.
RGIII is irrelevant.
Johnny Football and the Browns deserve each other.
Colin Kaepernick is finished.
Andrew Luck is M.I.A.
The four best young QBs in the league (2 years or less) play in Football Hell (edit--forgot about Bridgewater).
Nobody takes Andy Dalton, Brian Hoyer, Alex Smith, and Ryan Fitzpatrick seriously.
Flacco is done and the Ravens suck.
Rivers, Stafford and Cutler are going down with the ship.

That leaves Cam, who gets all the attention by default, nobody cares about Eli or Roethlisberger anymore, and Carson Palmer is pretty much anonymous.

are we talking marketing or level of play?

A little of both. Most of the stars fell off the cliff or their teams are horrible.

A lot of the top teams (CIN, DEN, NYJ, KC, ARI) are being led by nobodies or punch lines. There's one playoff win between the QBs on the above 5 teams, and Alex Smith has it. If the season ended today, outside of Brady, Rodgers and Russell Wilson, almost every NFL team in the playoffs this year will be led by QBs with one playoff win or less.

Bortles, Carr, Winston and Mariota could be the future of the league, but they will never get the spotlight playing where they play.

If it's so awful don't watch it. Simple solution. Oh, and it'll always be bigger than CFB. DWI

I think teams are too reactionary. Very few are built to win long term.

Eventually things fall apart.

The collective bargaining agreement has ruined football. Limited practices with restricted contact has decimated quality of play.

Tackling league wide is atrocious. Offensive line play (the position most in need of reps) is garbage. How many times in the last few years have you seen a simple End-Tackle stunt walk in uncontested and blow up the QB?
