I think you're definitely right about the shotgun offense, it definitely helps give quarterbacks a quicker read on what the defense is doing. It also gives him the ability to see where the blitz is coming from so that he can make better decisions about where to scramble to.

If you look at almost all of the good passing teams these days they almost all utilize the shotgun offense. Changes from one formation, say I form, to shotgun on an audible can really create mismatches depending on the defensive packages and it also helps to spread the field and give the quarterback the ability to make the quick read.
