Let me explain the post further.
It's easier to pass the football inside the 20 in a passing situation from the shotgun, than it is to pass the ball from behind center inside the 20 in a passing situation.
Sorry for not being clearer.
Your post is common knowledge. I assumed most understood that concept.
