I don't agree with that argument either, because NFL teams have consistent offensive philosophies. With few exceptions (New England comes to mind), teams have the same basic strategy from week to week. IE, Green Bay runs the WCO, Denver is going to base their offense on their zone blocking run game, the Martz Rams ran a wide open passing game. It is not an NFL where Green Bay runs the WCO until a player gets hurt, and then switches to the run and shoot for a week, only to switch to primarily 2 TE sets for a few more weeks. Players get hurt and are replaced, usually, into the same system.
Allowing teams to change their lineup makeup from week to week, if anything, moves us further from the NFL than towards it.
