We can go over this shit endlessly but as the NFL gets annoyed with these guys not being ready do to this system they may shy away like they did with option teams.

Yeah, it's so reeruned that they run the spread. Soooo reeruned. So reeruned that Texas and Florida have 3 of the past 5 National Championships while USC has.... zero.

Great Nebraska won titles running the option too, but the fact is things like that do factor into recruiting with kids that want to play at the next level.

So far the spread hasn't hurt kids transitioning from Florida to the NFL under Meyer, but it's still too early and the next few years will answer the questions.

It hurts QB's more than anything, he had one high profile selected QB, Alex Smith and he failed miserably.

Do I think all of Florida's player are going to fail at the next level, no but I do think they have greater learning curves to overcome.

We'll see how Tebow does but I think the real story on Florida QB's under Meyer will come once John Brantley goes to the NFL. That kid has a NFL arm and will operate a Florida offense more tailored towards a NFL-esque spread offense.
