AP: Barkley, Forcier no ordinary freshmen QBs

I don't think the NFL will ever run the spread as a base offense ..so either these guys will have to adapt or they'll fail.

Maybe a team or 2 will but you will never see an NFL team not run from under center.

That's what I'm saying. There will come a point where the "adapt or fail" idea will FAIL to produce any viable NFL QB's. And then it will be the teams that have to adapt, not the players.

I think either the QB's will have to make it Brees and Roethlisberger are from spreads and made it so there will either have to be exceptions or the league will be fully of QB's from the same schools.

There a reason these USC QB's keep getting drafted high...

Even the young QB's succeeding in the league today are guys from pro style offenses and I think the spread is hurting WR's too because when you look at the top WR's across the league none of them came from that system either.
