Not really. In a sense it's tougher because most teams once inside the 10 run the football. It would be more difficult to run in the shotgun than directly behind center.
However, passing the ball would be easier in a passing situation from the shotgun inside the 20 or the 10.
That said, I dont see the shotgun fromation and the spread offense as the same thing. the shotgun doesn't have to be run from a spread formation.
