For one, you have all these highly paid QB’s missing out on the playoffs, so teams want to try and win with talented young QB’s on rookie deals. It’s the best way to do it in today’s NFL.
Then, if you have a defensive minded HC and your QB developer is an OC or QB coach, you have to worry about losing them every single year. It makes more sense for your HC to be that guy, so that’s why I get it. It’s easier to find DC’s year to year.

Yeah, that's an interesting angle about losing qbs coaches every year. I still think it goes without saying we hit the jackpot with Mahomes. And that not every team should assume that. Granted, Nagy and pederson have run tough teams in spite of having game managers at qb. So maybe there's something to be said for qbs coaches being able to run tough defensive minded teams. But as for the trend, I think the success of the bears, eagles, ravens, Seahawks, cowboys flipped the season narrative a bit. It reminds me of when 3-4 did really well because few teams ran it. I'm surprised no team had considered the advantage of doing something different from everyone else.
