Offensive strategy and play-calling - East Final

[OV Argo]

None of your point about same basic offence is wrong, unfortunately. But it is wrong, IMO, to suggest that coaches have always controlled play calling. Sure, coaches create the offensive philosophy, but Flutie, Jackson and most QBs before the mid-1990s (maybe later) called their own plays. A certain (possibly definitive?) account of the 1991 Argo season noted that the head coach actually had to threaten to pull his starting QB just to ensure a single play the coach wanted was called.

A vet, sharp QB certainly had all kinds of say or discretion to direct the offence; but if the HC or OC allowed themselves to be told to FO by the QB, there is something very wrong with that picture IMO. And far as I know, the QBs were not drawing up the play-book from TC on in; these are coaching choices (though Flutie could have just winged-it sandlot style I guess).

You really have no clue what you are taking about here.

The CBA negotiation might lead to a transition from a 18 game to 20 game regular season.The exhibition games would be replaced with an organized scrimmage.
This change would not go into effect until 2023

I truly hope not. I really liked the 14 game regular season this year. Every game meant that much more. I really don't believe that the regular season should be more than 16 games. 20 would be far too much IMO.

Ok then; i'll have to defer to an expert like you to set me straight then.
