Spread option QBs make one read and then run. It's much more of a run-based system that relies on a large, powerful QB to gain yardage in the running game. Basically, they spread you out to run against 5 or 6 in the box, and when they throw, it's almost always against single coverage.
So far, there have been three spread QBs who have succeeded or likely will succeed in the NFL: Brees, Roethlisberger, and Bradford (likely).
Zero spread option QBs have done it.

Glad to see you on the bandwagon this year.
