Saban on run and stop the run

Right. I’m saying given equal athletes, the modern system would trounce the old system

My comment was not in regards to system success, it was about entertainment. That's a more subjective thing. The current systems are about watching the skill position guys work in space or seeing the ball fly deep. The older systems often included more choreography at the line of scrimmage. From an entertainment point of view it's about personal preference. That's why I said different, not better or worse. It's what I loved about our McNabb era offense. There was a mix of intricate pulling and trapping at the LOS with play action deep passes.

It comes down to preference for sure. Do you prefer a 2-1 pitchers duel or a 6-8 game with lots of people on base/dingers etc

I think the general public has preferred more scoring in just about every sport, but there is definitely beauty in both.

And I think the ball being thrown all over the field is probably more appealing to the casual fan. They're not as interested in watching a guard pull to the opposite side of the line so that the RB can hit a seam for a 6 yard gain.
