I'm not saying that rules do not play a factor but teams are definitely playing at a faster pace and spreading out more often. Teams were not running a shot gun offense 60% of the time, teams were not running 3 wide sets 70% of the time, and teams were not running the read option.
Fair enough, but I'd say teams are spreading it out more because the rule changes have made defenses unable to punish you for doing so. Basically I think we're both correct. And yeah, I do think teams are better able to utilize athletes at the QB position, partially due to the rule changes as well, but also because knowledge just builds over time.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
