Players, not plays. Jimmies and Joes, not Xs and Os. You think play calling can overcome bad players but if that were so New England and Alabama would still be on top. Low quality thinkers associate their real teams with their video games and think its just pushing the right buttons.

Case in point, The Brotherly Shove. Everyone knows it when they see it yet no one can stop it. But then why hasn't everyone else done it? It's a very basic play that makes Philly almost unstoppable in short yardage. 31 other teams want to be that good in short yardage, but we don't see it everywhere else in a copycat League. Simply put, they can't,  because the play without the players just doesn't work. Play calling works when the players can play, but calling a different play doesn't make a weak guy stronger.

It's a combination of a lot of things.  Playcalling can absolutely make a difference.   If it didn't you wouldn't see OC getting fired every year.  OCs would stay with their teams their whole coaching career.  It's, coaching, players, play calling, preparation, etc.  It's a lot of things that go into making a offense successful, not just good players. 

 Look what Eric B has done to Washington's offense and Sam Howell, thats just one of many examples.  Look at what Doug did last year to help Trevor from his rookie year with Urbz. There are alot of things that go into it along with the players.  Sometimes teams scheme to help hide flaws on offense or defense.

Yeah, I get a little annoyed when one asks the same stupid question over and over
