Thread: Spread Option a viable offense?

I think the hits add up all the same BDB.

Pat Bowlen and Elway have a different perspective since they are signing the checks.

Not everyone who likes the kid is a Tebowner.

But there is not an offense that "can't be shut down"... no matter how well its executed. The option is not so good, that it just can't be stopped.

I completely agree, I don't think there is an offense that cant be stopped. if the defense executes/has better talent that the offense it isnt going to matter what scheme you are running it aint going far

I would agree that I wouldnt call the performace good...but going from complete garbage to fairly decent is still improvement right?

He can't debate without ad hominem

Well it worked again to some some degree this week. The real test comes next week against the Jets.

uhh, they aren't and haven't been using the spread option. In fact, most of the time they are using an overload option, completely the opposite of a spread.
