To Read Option, or Not

What the hell is your stupid point? That teams shouldn't utilize their players' full talents? That offensive concepts shouldn't evolve?

That is what I got from it. My mom always told me when we go to the zoo that I shouldn't feed the bears. She never said what to do with the goats. I may need to call her later tonight.

I do think there's an argument for it though with a guy like Kaepernick in San Fran. As a franchise, you didn't sacrifice much for him in the first place, and he's a bigger dude than RG.

Apples and oranges comparing those two guys for a whole bevy of reasons.

I don't know what to think of Wilson, except that from what little I watched of him he's already very good and avoiding contact.

You know you changed your argument. You were arguing it was a gimmick offense because it wasn't run by the best teams. Now you're saying you can run it, but not with RGIII. Is it a gimmick or not?

The student has surpassed the teacher. Wise words my friend. Wise words

Don't get sucked into the vortex.

Last year Kyle fielded an offense unlike any that has ever been seen before in the NFL. Certainly concepts were borrowed: read option, West Coast schemes, etc. But the way he put those pieces together was new. We frequently ran formations which had never before been seen on an NFL field. The result: near the top of the league in both rushing and passing.

What Kyle did was creatively and effectively innovate. He showed that he can successfully implement original offensive concepts.

If people don't see this, and call what we did a "gimmick" instead, they are not appreciating the game of football. Or Kyle for that matter. What a shame.

Boom roasted

You'll notice I am still sitting quietly in the corner. I concede, however, that I am pointing and laughing at a certain someone's devotion to stupidity.

Clearly, you know nothing about football.

Using your franchise QB as a running QB is what's stupid. Again, there's a reason you don't see it. Even with the Vick example, who did NOT suffer near the injuries RG has, no other HC/FO in pro football has used their franchise QB the way shanahan uses RG.

What amazes me, is after a season of horrific injuries (to RG) folks are still homers for the status quo. It just seems like common sense to limit the number of hits to this guy who we mortgaged the future on. I mean, answer me this: is it your opinion we cannot compete with a traditional offense? Why else would you risk your QB?

SIR, until a Super Bowl has been won with your......Huckster Offense, it cannot be taken seriously!
