I would add that I'd be wary of making sweeping generalizations. Not every iteration of the spread features 3-foot or wider splits and not every iteration has their linemen in two-point stances.
All-in-all, this looks to me like a pretty silly exercise in philosophical masturbation.

All I'm trying to say is that what the Chiefs did on offense was RADICALLY different than what the Cardinals or Patriots did. What the Chiefs did WAS a gimmick, designed to compensate for linemen that couldn't block and a QB that couldn't play in a pro offense. And we STILL won only 2 games.
So suggesting that we're going to do it again is crazy talk. You're going to see 3 and 4-WR sets next year. You're going to see the shotgun. Hell, I'd bet it all we'll see the wildcat a half dozen times.
But you won't see anything like what we did last year.
