In terms of DSFL impact, realistic weather would certainly put a damper on things for quarterbacks that already struggle due to the TPE cap limiting their effectiveness at times. While it'd certainly be interesting to see, quarterbacks playing in rainy or snowy conditions would seriously limited the passing game, making smashmouth running games even more crucial to their success. Rookie quarterbacks in particular would put up laughably poor statlines as they continued to earn TPE. In terms of team building, things would get very interesting. Teams in the north division would likely adapt to this newer brand of football, fully embracing the importance of a rushing offense and the big-bodied defense needed to stop their rivals. And while we don't quite see the same situation playing out in the NFL to this extent, the worse the quarterbacks are the more the weather will effect them - something that's notably been characterized with the Big 10's penchant for hard-nosed football, partially as a result of these weather-imposed restrictions on quarterbacks that are inferior to their professional counterparts.
