If it takes 3 years to learn 15 plays you know those are some complicated plays. Some quantum physics type sh*t.

May be only 15-20 basic plays, but there are multiple reads/variation off those plays that the QB and receiver have to see and read the same thing at the same time based on what the the "D" is doing. I think that is the learning curve, hence the walk of shame for the new guy at times so JJ can point some things out. I compare it to someone saying a guy is mostly a fastball pitcher ... but he throws a 4 seam, 2 seam, cutter, splitter, 3 qtrs and sidearm. Same pitch with multiple variations and results.

I'm kidding. I realize that the options provide a lot of variation

This has to be the post of the week, at least.

Relax. It's called having a good laugh. It's what jones does every time he receives his paycheck for doing minimal work as the HC and leader of the football program.
