Inflated scoring? The last 2 seasons are the lowest scoring seasons since 2010.

Not that guy and not arguing. But I wonder if that might be due to the league moving toward a much more pass friendly ruleset but the amount of QBs being skilled enough not growing. There are about 10 QBs any given year who are high level and safe. The rest of the teams would gladly change QBs if one of those 10 became available.

The new focus on explosive passing offense is still limited by the ability of the QBs at the helm. So offenses predicated on passing being led by average or below QBs can't perform. The offenses then are in a bad position because they require QB ability that isn't available and the run game of those offenses are a secondary thought.
