Even Rex Ryan and Ryan Clark agreed with Lynn's choice because that's the way they've been taught to play and coach the game.

And I understand where Rex Ryan and Ryan Clark is saying.
I'm just saying, there isn't an QB that is remotely close to what Mahomes does/do/talent. At some point, should that line of thinking need to be changed because it is Patrick Mahomes, who is probably a generational type of a QB talent?
Most NFL coaches hated doing the shotgun, and it was like a big taboo back in the 90's/early 2000's.
All of a sudden, almost all teams are now using the shotgun as part of their base packages.
That line of thinking changed, that's all.
