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.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
