Boston Herald/Byrne: What parity? In NFL, only teams with stud QBs thrive

This is so very true, and while I feel lucky to follow one of the teams with a great quarterback, I am really more of a fan of football defense so I’d like to see the pendulum swing back the other way. Just hopefully after Brady retires. 

Can’t they just ease off on how you’re not allowed to so much as breathe on a receiver more than 4.99 yards downfield now? There have to be some subtle rule changes that can level the playing field just a bit as far as the passing game. What about something just to reduce “Flacco’ing?” You know, just tossing an underthrown ball and praying for a PI call?

Now defenses can’t hit or touch anyone until they’ve made the catch and are running freely through the field. This might be enjoyable football for those of us with good quarterbacks, but for everyone else they’re just fooling themselves if they think they have a chance to consistently compete with a great ground game and tough defense (cough Rex Ryan)…
