I had to check.... Sporting News, not an official NFL award. Still, anyone really want to claim the NFL isn't looking for a playcalling edge? Many try every year. NFL plays don't look much like plays from one decade ago.
Not every experiment succeeds. Some fans expect the college game or at least experiments in the college game to translate to the NFL, but there's many reasons the NFL morphing of an offense is a slow one.
It's not that they aren't looking it's that they for whatever reason revert back to what they know instead of trying to create something different. I said last weekend watching the playoff games that NFL coaches are he worst in the coaching profession at making in game adjustments and making sound decisions. Sometimes watching an NFL coach mismanage the clock or totally botch replay challenges when all these resources are set up for you to be successful at them is infuriating.
In the NBA and MLB you can flat out win just by having better players period. It's hard to overcome talent deficiencies in those leagues. In the NFL you don't even have to have the best players at their respective positions to win. You can win having one or two elite players on your whole 53 man roster. You can win by having an inexperienced player at the most important position in the league and you can even win by having the worst players at the most important position in the league. It's just the coaching and player development that seems to have dropped off recently in the NFL. QB's aren't being coached and developed as good anymore. Coaches aren't utilizing their players properly. That shit gets you fired in the NBA and MLB and you'll b a bench coach/assistant that's just lucky to hang onto a job. In the NFL people will look around the whole league and settle on a guy that did something really cool 10 years ago.
