I still long for a franchise QB, but am content in the mean time watching what is unfolding before our eyes.

Setting the trend by being one of the 15 teams to run a 3-4?
FWIW, I agree that it's a copycat league, but it's not necessarily a cyclical league. The league has gotten progressively more pass happy the last 50 years and the rules continue to favor the pass.
