Link: Per Lane Kiffin-"Dynasties are over"

[Cruiser]

Yesterday GMac was discussing how few teams; only 5 weeks into the season, were winning games by an average of more than 14 points compared to previous years. I think it was something like only 4 teams in the SEC? The betting lines are tighter. Bama probably finished the 2020 season winning by some crazy number; like 30? The "second tier" teams are much more competitive with their ability to re-make their rosters due to re-distribution of talent. FSU has 50 new players; State has 36 and they are totally different teams.

the Bama mystique permeated Thursday night football last night. Matt Stafford (UGA) VS Mac Jones. In overtime, At home, the Rams forego the chip shot FG to tie the game and go for it on 4th and 1 and don’t make it. Mac Jones Wins Again!

Stafford is 0-2 vs. Alabama QBs this year.

Jones is making quite the comeback as well. Now 3-0, and he's having to play without SF's top 3 WRs.

Will they learn their lesson?

It’s all system and fit. Yes, in Shanahan’s system, Mac can flourish. If they drafted him in ‘21, his Career would be different. Got to see him wait and show what he can do. Another example , Sam Darnold. Looked terrible in New York and Carolina. In Minnesota and now Seattle, one of the best QB’s in the league

It will never be broken or tied or close to it because of how the game has so quickly changed.

It’s as safe as Cy Young’s Win total, DiMaggio’s 56 game hit streak, Rickey’s SB records, Ripken’s Consecutive Starts streak..etc.

HC's are getting younger and younger and to think someone who starts out coaching at 30 and has 35-40 shots at a title can't get 8 is a stretch. Is it likely? No. Is it possible? Absolutely.

It is that way with every QB. Very few, in very rare circumstances, would excel in any system you drop them into. And even those would struggle or fail if the system was being run by incompetence.

"System QB" is one of the most overused and overrated phrases in football. What NE did with Mac (and the entire franchise post-Brady) was criminal. Moronic, and criminal.

A coach at the age of Lanning could indeed. He's 39. Ryan Day is 46 and has a title. DeBoer is 50. Kirby is 49. Cristobal is 55.

Someone like Lanning, if he got 2 in his 40's, a couple in his 50's....sure, he could get to 6 or 7 eventually. If he decided to keep going for that many years.

I do like the Cy Young reference though. Baseball has changed so much from his time that no one will ever come close to 511. #2 guy, Walter Johnson has 417. Or the Cal Ripken reference....with him at 2632 consecutive games and the only active player over 500 is Matt Olsen. Baseball changed.
