What you and everyone else refuse to understand for some reason is that players still have to execute. A playcall cannot create a result, because schemes can be designed and work perfectly to give a player an opportunity, and that player can still completely blow their assignment. Similarly, a playcall can break down completely and the play still yield a huge positive gain thanks to the efforts of the players. The players determine the results on the field in almost every case.



I see it more like telling you or Omaha to stop holding GMs accountable. How can one stop what they never started?
No shit. Players have to make plays (this was already known by everyone, it's not some amazing revelation you tried to make), but they have a much easier time doing so when it's a good play as opposed to a shit play like Pagano and company would call. You try to make it easier on those playmakers, not harder. When you make it easier on those playmakers with better calls, it absolutely affects the game, just as you admitted earlier. Quit being obtuse.
