Why NFL ratings suck
- Thread starter TierbsHsotBoobs
- Start date
the ratings aren't down because of QBs

Agreed, but I don’t think any of those listed are going to be the face of their respective franchises anytime soon. Star power does count a little bit.

Hi.
Bad quarterbacks = bad football that no one wants to watch, regardless of political affiliation.
Is this reason 1,007 or 1,008?

8,169

People care about the players. Just look at the NBA Finals ratings with Lebron or Jordan. The lack of superstar QBs is the biggest reason ratings are down.
Cable cutters and streaming are another (smaller) reason ratings are down.

Bad quarterbacks, bad offensive coordinators, coward head coaches. I haven't watched any games the last couple weeks. And the next game I do watch will be illegally streamed.

Because of the lack of superstars.
you need to get out among people a little more
of course people care about players. But it isn't the main reason why ratings are down.
My grand unified theory stolen from various sources
The NFL teams used to be fairly unique, at least the most popular ones. Pittsburgh with defense and running. SF with the West Coast.
Now they all seem to run the same chuck and duck shit that gets boring and repetitive fairly fast.
Decreased practice time and massive player movement leads to this sameness because you're throwing together a new team every July. A team gets to greatness and loses half the team
This is all good for the players who get paid and don't have to live in the film room all year. It does effect the product.
Pro coaches are cowards as APAG pointed out and don't dare to do anything different. Nobody says anything fun anymore. Fighting is now heavily punished.
And there is a negative effect from the external bullshit, Not just the anthem errrrr police brutality protests, but the pink shoes and every cancer in the world awareness and all that.
Every business has to know their customer. It's football. Stick to what you know

Obviously a guy with nearly 40K hardcore husky posts, plus 100K twatters, plus who knows how many other posts under different handles across the web, probably never leaves the house at all. He may not ever leave his room.

I’m not gonna lie the NFL is boring as fuck this year. I hope Brady gets ring #6 and twatter goes full meltdown.
