I'm just of the opinion that the read option won't be a long term success in the NFL due to the fact that unblocked defenders are going to start attacking the mesh point and not the specific player.

This goes back to the playing to Smith's strengths thing. Reid was having him push the envelope in OTA's to see just what Smith was capable of doing. That is good coaching IMO, and doesn't necessarily mean they are going to ask Smith to take a lot of risks come September.
