Teams are going to have to figure out another way to do things. If you don't have a franchise QB these days, you have to figure out how to slow the game down, keep those offenses off the field and throw off their timing. I think more teams are going to take the route of the Ravens and 49ers if they don't have that QB. It may take more than one running back with all the pounding they take.
