Dang.. i understand the pain they went through and the hesitancy to let yourself get excited and tell people. I'm glad they've broken through and Thank God for allowing them to try again. I wish them both the best -
Congratulations to Ryan Kelly and his wife!!! Wishing for a new chapter on and off the field filled with happiness and positives for Ryan Kelly. -
Philly and Bills didn't take that next step till Hurts and Allen evolved as passers. We know the ceiling AR can hit as a runner, the passing ability is the X factor that Steichen is tasked with improving significantly compared to the running prowess. Till that happens, the legs will be the insurance to win games early on in the first year or two. Year 3 is when Bills got Diggs and Philly got A J Brown for Allen and Hurts respectively, and that was parallel with their big jump in passing prowess too, so Ballard has a part to play in it as well to get the right pieces around AR.

I don't think that's the case.. when people here say Ballard is good at drafting especially, it doesn't mean he has no misses in his draft picks. I was not trying to convince anyone about anything. My point was Roseman does have a knack of fixing his mistakes, like he missed on QB and WR, but did get top notch players at these positions very soon, while still keeping the rest of the roster a championship material, especially in the trenches. Most of the GMs including Ballard struggle to fix some position groups while few others break down. I think that's where Roseman has differentiated himself from the rest of the crowd. He's got some far sighted vision and execution. Anyway, I can't recall how we got here discussing this in Hopkins trade, probably from Vikings drafting Jefferson. I was not trying to get any point across to you, I just try to add points to the discussion and sometimes it would elicit response from the comment I choose to reply. -
I'm not a football historian. But a big leap probably came in the 1950s when the forward pass was being emphasized and a whole new level of complexity in planning and execution was introduced. Then another in the 1970's when QBs like Bobby Douglas finally were relegated to dinosaur status. Then another leap in the 1980s and 1990s when Bill Walsh and his Tree emphasized even more complexity and nuance. Its probably been more iteration of back and forth and situational strategy from that point on more than its been an evolution as an entire league. Many things get too complex for their own good and the evolution curve runs out of steam. The level gets too complex to be sustainable and sort of implodes. Then "back to basics" rises from the ashes. The NFL probably has run its course in getting more complex so QBs like AR are probably in the perfect spot to capitalize on the NFLs regression back to basics.
