Re: How much would you like to see the option offense?

I would like to take back to John Fox and Tim Tebow. They basically modified their offense to a read option/college type offense. Even goes as far to say Tebow would be screwed in a conventional offense.

Smart like a Fox: Broncos coach adapts to Tebow's strengths - NFL.com

Fox has been on record as saying that type of offense wasn't going to cut it for long in the NFL. Which is why you saw them jettison Tebow during the off-season.

I think the read option can work on occasions, but not as a main part of your offense.
So it doesn't mean squat that it's working? I fail to understand your argument.I didn't really see it run as our main offense today, but it is our backbone and being top 10 in offense in the NFL. Well, you can't really argue it doesn't work at this moment in time.

The only way I see you saying it wont work is if it ever stops working for us. Which it hasn't.. You can't compare Panthers vs Redskins.. They don't have the QB we do.
