Is it the Brown Era for QB in the NFL

NFL ratings are way down right now and a big part is the are they patriotic or aren't they patriotic kneel downs during the national anthem. However, another big part of it may be all of the shitty teams and shitty teams in the NFL. If we had been in the Golden Age of the NFL during the heyday of Manning and Brady then we may be experiencing The Brown Age of Shit Play now.

Sure Tom Brady may very well be still playing well in to his 40's and Drew Brees just set an NFL record for completion %. However, Aaron Rogers missed most of the season because of breaking a clavicle. Derek Carr didn't take the next step. Carson Wentz took the next step but then got hurt and now we get to watch Nick Foles. We thought we might get to see a star in the making in Deshaun Watson but he got hurt and we got Tom Savage. So while people were mad at Papa Johns, whatever Roger Goodell was making people mad at, and the people kneeling during the singing of the Star Bangled Banner, the product turned in to one of those steaming piles of Cow Dung. The kind where you gave the cow a chocolate milkshake. But not just any milk shake. One that was filled with a laxative and the juice of a thousand squeezed prunes. Then the cow dropped the magic loaf on a twenty degree day on a compost heap....in Greeley, CO.

The Broncos QB situation was bad from the get go. It was a crap show that evidently they liked so much in 2016 they sat around and wanted to see again. It was like those old time bathrooms with couches in them. Like they sat on the couch and liked people growing a tail so much that they sat there all day with a bucket of popcorn and watched people go over and over again. The Browns are always horrible. They were so bad that Deshone Kizer was the best QB play they have had in years. Jared Goff took a step forward so that is good. However people would rather watch 'Ass Bitches of Oakland' or whatever bitchy show has women yelling at each other next. Eli Manning got benched despite being the best QB on his team. Jay Cutler was basically kicked out of the league for being a butthole, however he was asked back because 'a Team Needed Him'. Phillip Rivers leads his team to almost to playoffs despite leading his team to a winless first month of the season. Big Ben didn't have any Restroom Incidents and had a decent season....which means he spent the whole season talking about retiring because he thinks he may be losing it. There was even a team mourning the loss of Carson Palmer.

We may even be looking at a Super Bowl with Case Keenum taking on Blake Bortles. Is it possible for more people to watch Reading Rainbow Reruns over the Super Bowl.

What is to blame? How did we get here? Wasn't the rule changes and West Coast Offense supposed to issue in more Offenses. While Brett Favre, Manning, Brady, Brees, and Company were blowing past the records of Elway, Marino, Moon, and Tarkenton, we were evolving into offenses that are plain offensive. Is it the Spread Offense in College? Nobody knows how to run a standard offense. Is it teams like the Broncos from a couple of years ago and the 2000 Ravens who won the Super Bowl with ball control offenses? Never in my time of watching the NFL have I watched so many passes not just missed, but missed by a mile. Ten yards short....twenty yards too high....throws straight to the other team. This is the same thing as watching NBA teams play nothing but the Princeton offense.

Maybe next year we will get back a good Andrew Luck. Matt Ryan is good but usually only great in even years. Maybe Eli gets in a situation where he can have a year or two left. Maybe we have an historic 1983 QB draft. Maybe somebody looks back at the offenses of Bill Walsh and remembers that sure it is good not to turn the ball over, but you still gotta score more than the other team.
