Steve Smith knocks the read option...

[Guest BlueBoy]

umm where is the wildcat???

alot of people said the long break would take ravens momentum......ravens came out in the second scored on the kickreturn... they were hotter than beyonce.....and 49ers got a lucky break. who cares they still aint win. no mater how close THEY DID NOT WIN. lol dropback guy wins again... sorry blueboy lol :lolu:

The wild cat didn't take any team to superbowl.

That's my point all along, you can't say things aren't effective in a close high scoring game. SF suffered the same slow start with the Falcons. Nothing new.

Dropback? Well, 28/32 is a pretty good odd from the beginning. On the other hand, there are only 4 dual threat QBs, 3 made the playoffs, 1 make it to the superbowl and lost by a field goal. Nothing to lol about. So statistically, dropback QBs are a failure. Just think of how many drop back QBs that didn't make the playoffs

The option didn't give up a kick return for a TD in the superbowl. That's free points. Not offensive or defensive related. Just mediocre special teams stupidity. So, offensively the 9ers won the superbowl. Fail!

That's why I don't believe there should be special team or kicking in the game. On 4th downs, teams should either go for it or give the ball up at the other teams 35 yard line. After a score the other team receives the ball at the 20. Also, after a score the team have one un-timed down to score an extra point.

damn man dropback qbs are a failure.......did you see that superbowl list.....feel sorry for the slow drop back boys UMMPH!!

Well, better receivers in the league does the same without complaining what type of offense they run. Smith had years of pro style offenses around him and they barely make the playoffs. Now that Cam is putting them on the map we don't need that old washed up receiver complaining about our offensive system.

Dude just go back to your dirt hut in New Orleeeens again.

Is this that Pat guy again? lol, hilarious if its him and he still cant let it go.

[Razeyfingers]

That is interesting. Do you have a study on it you can link up that may explain that in more detail??

No links just watch the plays.

A back's speed and direction are slower and narrower when running out of a read. He cant correct his speed and direction while he's watching the holes develop because he has to stay and complete the "option" and the play hasnt been determined. He cant explode right from the snap. It's a loaded argument because there are times when a back will wait anyways for a hole, but any man who wants his feet nailed down while 300 pound monsters are trying to kill you should be committed. D'Lo has experienced this and probably isnt a huge fan, go figure.

Im not against it, I just dont think it should be run predictably.

The read option is a weapon but NFL defenses are like the borg. They will adapt quickly sometimes within the same game. You have to change your offense like you change your underwear. Or at least the "cute" part of it. With a sound traditional offense to lul the other team to sleep.

I'm pretty sure he's a troll.

Kinda pathetic to put that much effort into trolling another team's fans, honestly.

The RB shouldn't be standing with his feet nailed down. When the exchange takes place the RB should be 85% of top speed and then exploding through the hole. He isn't reading linebackers, he already knows where he needs to go. The RB is responsible for the exchange, the QB is in charge of the read. The RB is supposed to go straight to where his gap should be, but he also has the option to cutback to a better gap if it opens up and looks to be the better option. Something that RBs do in any zone blocking run scheme, whether it be under center or out of the shotgun or in the pistol.

Well, Kaep is part of the read option system. To run a read option you need a certain types of QB to run it thus resulting in defenses game planning for not only the option but also a scramble. You can't analyze the read option independently of Kaep's physical ability. It's because he is a read option QB that's why he is able to scramble. What the 9ers run is an offensive system. Once Kaep is removed from that system then a new system need to be created for the next QB.

The Panthers need an offensive system for Cam as well that includes the read options, the scrambles, the play actions, and everything else. Some offensive systems are more limited than others.

Maybe the reason Kaep was able to scramble was because the defense put to much effort in stopping the read options thus leaving open gaps in the defense. Food for thought, of course.

Kaepernick's Touchdown run was because Baltimore lost containment. Most of the game they kept him in the pocket. His run came when he got outside of that containment. Very similar to what teams try to do with Cam.

Otherwise, I think Baltimore made him the second year QB with 10 starts that he was. Had the lights not gone out. Many would have questioned whether Smith would have done a better job.

The 9ers lost by a punt return. Free points. Kaep was gashing that defense.

I'm a troll because I don't think an old hag should be complaining about our offensive system? OK, guy!

[DaveThePanther2008]

Gashing? His highlights came after the lights came back on in the 3rd quarter. I would also say most of his "Gashing" came between the 20's.

I assume you mean a kick-off return.

They call that winning by default. In the 1920s the top players look different than they do now. Like Kurt Warner says, players that use to play RB & WR are now throwing darts. strangely, I would take Cam or Kaep over all those listed players. Enjoy it, it won't last.
