If the spread offense and all the offensive schemes, if they were refineded as they are now, do you believe they would have been successful in the NFL 10 years ago? 20 years ago?

There is a lot more throwing at the college level, so the running quarterback of yesteryear now can throw as well.

Read option wouldnt work with an athletic qb that cant pass. So if the college game hadnt opened it up like it has, the guys that can do it, wouldnt exist

Plus qbs nowadays are protected a lot more. And even with all the protection, teams are still somewhat shying away from using it full time

I think the rules play a big part in what offenses are capable of doing. Todays style I dont think would of went over well 20+ years ago
