Ye olde Dixieland outlaw will be pullin' for the Texans, Pack, Colts & Seahawks. I don't give a rip about Seattle, but I don't wanna see the Gremlin hype machine stay on track.
Can't say I don't see your point. Unfortunately, I think he's already got the Rookie of The Year. A helluva lot it'll do 'em in the long run.
Which leads me to an interesting thought. It's funny how all the commentators are completely out of their mind with excitement for this rookie class and the idea that it portends elite quarterback play for years to come (of course, the real source of excitement is the ecstasy pa$$ed on by their cultural marxist paymasters who are overcome with joy that the dawn of the messianic race of black quarterback has finally, really arrived. People tend to "agree" with their bosses.)
I think it's easy for us here at CF to forget that the NFL is big business and all of these commentators, whether they work for a sports network like Espn or for the NFL directly, depend on this business growing. Whether the quality of the product declines or improves will never change how they describe it. They are obligated to assure us that it is an ever improving product. Their career, their second home, the boat, the kid's tuition at an overpriced private school, their expensive vices and their subsequent debts; all of these things depend on these jackasses towing the line and never looking at the product critically. Hence, the quarterbacks, the cornerbacks (even though they are no longer allowed to defend), the running backs (even though the offense is much less reliant on them) are always getting better.
Commentators will criticize teams and players but never the league as a product. We have all witnessed how this was not the case in professional boxing. For some reason the money men in this sport (at least the American ones) lost their love for the sport and refused to endorse their own product. And we all know the reason why.
The rules relaxing defenses come at an interesting time. Just as the league and the media are slamming as many black quarterbacks down our throats as possible. Now they certainly will be able to compare the offensive stats of these blacker quarterbacks favorably to the whiter quarterbacks of the past. For the very uncritical, average DWF, that's all the evidence he'll need. Some coincidences make you wonder. Even if it is generally better to stick with what you know. After all, Occam's razor would suggest that by softening the game, the league and owners are simply trying to protect their multi-million dollar investments (i.e. players), thereby eliminating some of the waste (injuries) and chaos from their industry. And besides, these blacks still have to compete and be judged against their superior contemporaries. At least for the time being. Nevertheless, these "fortuitous" changes will be used as part of the spin seeking to praise these black quarterbacks above their actual ability.
