If by "steroids" you mean "QB's with super-computers for brains far outproducing the rest of the pack in a lockout year", then sure. Sanchez's 3267 yards looks pathetic by comparison.

Sanchez's 3267 yards looks pathetic by comparison. There's a few things about sanchez's game that look pathetic, especially if we wanna compare it to the good QB's in the NFL.

RyanBe_Tweetin Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Definitely with all these rules it's hard to play defense without getting a flag. It's making the sport soft in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanBe_Tweetin Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 There was a time where there would be a big hit every game helmet to helmet. Now you get none of that they took away the helmet to helmet hits and the kick returns for touchdowns as well....

T0mShane Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I think it's more a function of teams just giving up on traditional rushing attacks and deciding that a six yard pass on first down is more productive than a four yard run. Without looking it up, I'd guess that this was one of the least productive years for running the ball in history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFSIKH Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I think it's more a function of teams just giving up on traditional rushing attacks and deciding that a six yard pass on first down is more productive than a four yard run. Without looking it up, I'd guess that this was one of the least productive years for running the ball in history. Although not calculated through yesterday's games, it is not drastically different (56K w/1 game vs 58K in 2010). And this year has more rushing than 2007. Thank You Pro Football Reference. It is. As to your point, it is clear that the NFL has shifted since 1978 when the pass defense and pass blocking rules were changed. The subsequent rule changes have only tilted the league to the pass more.

Irish Jet Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 It's the way Goodell wants it. It really pisses me off how passing oriented the NFL is now, I've been watching for only around 9-10 years and it's still drastic how different it is. It'll eventually be arena-league like and running backs will be judged more about what they bring in the passing game before anything else.

Without looking it up, I'd guess that this was one of the least productive years for running the ball in history. Nobody cares if you run for 1000 yards any more. The rules as to PI and RTP demand you throw. Which is why "ground and pound" is such idiocy and why a decent pass rush is a must.Seemed like every QB playing the jets could've played in tuxes. Saw a thing on NFLN with Randy Cross about the silliness of "establishing the run". If you can let the ball do the work via the air for 6 or 7 yards, why are you killing yourself pounding it for 3 yards? You don't get any style points for a drive of 18 plays. The idea is to score, period. Ryan has this borderline insane ideal that there's something noble about rushing the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 even if they host the Saints at Candlestick? I think the 49ers are very dangerous Yes. A solid running game and good defense can go pretty far. We have been an exampleof that the last 2 years. But there is a ceiling to that approach, which is you will lose in the playoffs to a team with a superior QB. Now they might very well beat the Falcons or Jints. But the Saints or Packers is going to hang 35+ points on them and they won't be able to keep up. Bet the over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
