Well, I remember when a Steeler fan I know was calling Peyton and Brady's offenses a "dink and dunk" play that anybody could do. Like it was a gimmick. Now that Rothlisberger is doing the some of the same thing under Haley...

If other teams start copying what we do, it won't be considered a "gimmick" for long.

As someone pointed out, formations and plays are different things. The run and shoot has come and gone a lot also, works great for Brady.
