My guess is that it will be banned. The primary argument against it was that it is an “unstoppable play,” but as we have seen, other teams that run it are getting stopped pretty regularly. It seems it’s only “unstoppable” when one team does it. Now that the “unstoppable play” fallacy has been put to bed, you can see the narratives changing. Now it’s “an ugly play,” or “not a football play,” or whatever aesthetic reasoning commentators or even a certain defensive coordinator can come up to argue that it should be banned.
