Spread offenses work in NFL.

Brady, Manning, Rivers, Roethlisberger, Brees all run versions of a spread. It almost seems Brees and Brady are in the gun as much or more than they are under center. I know these are elite QBs with a keen understanding of the game but IMO its not a "system" concern with Newton and Gabbert. Its something else...because the spread is way more successful in the NFL than people realize.

Let me try to edumacate the boy. 'Spread' in college is the veer option. It is a read option based on how the DE or OLB (depending on defense) attacks. It is much different in the NFL. In college WR Screens, flairs to RB's etc work much better than in the NFL because of the level of athletes playing. Go watch Cam Newton in Malzhan's Gimmick offense, then go put in tape of Aaron Rogers in GB. Light years difference.

Are more teams in the shotgun? Uh not really. Warren moon with the run and shoot was in it almost exclusively. Jim Kelly was in it at least 60% of the time with the K Gun. John Elway was in it in his offense a ton. Many Media types want to forget this because of an agenda they have and that is to keep you guys interested.

They also need to pimp the newest QB's no matter what because the meat of you fans gobble it up and its all you care about and that too is media driven. The game will never change to the point where run and stop the run isn't a primary goal. It will never get to the point where a QB doesn't take snaps under center, 3-5-7 step drops are needed with good footwork and timing etc.

No matter how badly the Media wants to say different, QB play has not and will not ever change. You must be able to take snaps, read defenses, take your drops and deliver the ball on time, on target and with anticipation no matter what. Regardless of what physical tools you have, that will never change.

Before you try to "edumacate" people you should at least know what you are talking about. The veer and spread offenses are not even close. The veer generally has the QB under center with 2 hbs and 2 wrs, whereas the spread generally has the QB in the shotgun with 3,4 or 5 wr sets. They arent even close in look or in principle.

And you would be completely incorrect. I have coached the spread veer and it is ran all the time in HS and College. Now you might refer to the old Wing T veer in which you would be correct, but what I am talking about is what has been ran for the last 5-7 years.

The QB is in the shotgun and makes his read off of the DE or OLB depending on what defense he is facing. He makes the decision to hand off or run or throw depending on the play called.

    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game to go around   and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.
