The part about scoring being down was my favorite podcast segment you've done in a while. I listened to it while driving and didn't feel like the lack of visuals detracted from absorbing the information at all. While great QB's retiring is undoubtedly part of the decline, I do think schematic changes have played a significant role. Offense isn't just down in recent years, it even looks different (even for non-film guys like me). It's also worth noting that PFF pass blocking grades were way down in 2023, which is probably a combination of o-lines getting worse and pass rushes getting better.
