Hell, a large majority of pundits, panels, and smart people still don't get it. In the stadium, some people are playing and watching football. Outside the stadium, the world changes. Back inside the statdium, they think a better playcaller will impact what's outside.
Paradigm shift. Or maybe I'm an idiot. Or maybe both.
