There's a certain irony: Those teams with the running QBs are playing something that superficially resembles the old single wing from the 1940s; just without the between the tackles plunges from the fullback and the slow developing outside runs from the tailback (QB) or the wingback. Not many direct snaps to the other backs, either.

Yeah, its the whole nothing is ever new-just recycled. I feel like a lot of what they run is very similar to the veer offenses you used to see in the south during the 60s and 70s (just with a play side bubble or slant as opposed to an extra TE blocking).

Yeah, when I was in high school (mid-1980s) one of the other schools ran the veer out of 2 TE 1 WR set. The most interesting team ran a wing-t that was damn near unstoppable of the ground.
It was disastrous. It was the same set-up Sammy Braw ran against the Bears' T Formation in 1941, losing 73-0.
So rose the T, and the end of the single wing was signaled.
Except in my little town in the early 1970s.
It did not work. Plays developed too slowly.

The Steelers actually played the single wing until 1952, the last team to adopt the T.Willie Pep 229 likes this.

Happens every play in the NFL, where receivers act like they're mugged trying to draw a pass interference call. It's been a part of American football since the day pass interference calls hit the rule book. Apparently you also missed 7-foot-tall NBA players flopping around trying to draw a foul.....every game.
Thanks for playing, Junior
I was responding to the post about fans stuffing their mouths with chips and beer and noting that soccer fans also stuff their mouths with beer. As well as engage in hooliganism and throwing bananas at black players.
