Your really using that BS “11-15” minute crap?! Come on, you KNOW football better than that. You KNOW that 90% of what determines if a play succeeds happens between the break of the huddle and the snap. Pre-snap reads, adjustments, showing looks and dropping out of them, motion, those are all part of the action, the most important part of the action. Anybody acting like football only happens between the snap and the whistle is just lying.

Grotesquely oversized humans are in every sport but baseball... oh wait Big Papi hasn’t retired. Performance enhancing drugs are in every sport.

There’s tons of multiple position players in the league, one of the big stories of last year was moving Chris Mathews. Plus of course almost everybody on special teams is also somewhere else. And really there’s nothing wrong with an all-pro linebacker sucking at QB, I doubt any all-pro LB could have passed muster at QB in the last 60 years, 2 way players were gone before most of us were born.

I've never been able to get a rational explanation from anyone on this question: Why does the clock run in football when the whistle blows and the ball is dead?
