In a QB driven league has the TE position become more of a skill position and the FB to a glorified guard?

I understand what's you're saying. But a good TE can both block and catch and a good FB can block, catch and pound out a couple of yards when he's needed. I don't see TEs being used less as blockers. Really good passing teams even have good blocking wide receivers. How a good team uses it's talent depends upon the talent they have available.

Saints have Jeremy Shockey at TE and he can block and catch. They also have Kyle Eckel who can do all the things a FB has always been called upon to do.

The league has come a long way since the FB was the best running back on the team though. I believe the last time a FB led the league in rushing was Jimmy Taylor for the Packers. I believe that was around 1964.
