the point in this article is that the "trifecta" is void and the LT isn't even part of the equation anymore.

Then the point of the article is false. The spread option will eventually go the way of the 46 defense. You cannot consistently put your QB at risk in the NFL. Just look at the teams in the playoffs. Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers...none of them are ever going to run the spread option. You basically had RGIII, Kaepernick, and Wilson (sort of) and RGIII got hurt. This is typical lazy journalism by ESPN and it is what I have come to expect from the Worldwide Leader in hype.
