No, not at all.
-the single wing was the stuff and the forward pass would never catch on
-The pro passing game in the 60's was the future due to the excitement created by the new AFL. Running game is dead.
-70's hit and the wishbone/veer is the rage with wishbone teams Bama, OU, Texas and Nebraska leading the NCAA in offense every year and winning pretty much all national titles.
The fun n gun comes to town. Will never be stopped Spurrier has one exactly one title and the fun n gun is pretty much a footnote in history.
Offensive innovation is nothing new and is predicated on how defenses adjust. Once they do, said offense dies. Usually takes about 10 to 15 years for it to become null. Right now the spread is all that but not winning titles. The same thing that won 100 years ago wins today. Playing Defense. I know it doesnt seem that way right now, especially to the younguns who havent seen these offenses come and go but football has been played a lot longer than the last 15 years and potent offenses have come and they have gone. Don't confuse DT with mobile. TOday, John Elway would be considered DT. No, the death of the Dan Marino is not here. It never will be. A good mobile QB is always gonna be a plus but the Nick Marshalls and Michael Vicks of the world are not the future. In 2020, there will be new hot offense and it too, will die.
