You’ve watched every play he’s called all year. That gives you much better insight and probably opinion overall than an opposing fan, but it will skew your perception negatively in at least one way: creativity.

When you watch another team’s play calling it will inevitably look more surprising and varied and creative because even if he’s run the exact same play before you probably haven’t seen it.

Like the little pirouette handoff we did several times a few years ago, or the “pretend I’m handing off the wrong way an it’s a broken play”, or the “I’m falling down on the roll out whilst shaking the ball”. These were surprising to us the first time we saw them, but looked less so later. Opposing DCs knew them from our film. But opposing fans didn’t. They still looked creative and new to those fans.

So while we see more creativity from opponents, some of that is just a lack of our own knowledge of what they do.

Personally, I think ARod is pretty good on the creativity side. Other stuff to criticize.

(Like the fade call vs Kansas. I know people said publicly it was practiced a lot and executed very well, but the TE I talked to about it said otherwise)
