Football Mike Tomlin: Read-Option is "Flavor of the Day"

Tomlin is right.

And since The Chiefs are still stuck in 80's style football, perhaps the read-option will have come full circle by the time the chiefs move to it.

Count me as another brick in the Tomlin is spot on wall... throw your option QB out there to the wolves, and we'll eat eat him, thats an AWESOME football statement and probably exactly how teams will attack it in the future... **** you Goodell, you cant change everything right away.

The read option will mostly die out just like the wildcat did, a gimmick is a gimmick, unless you have some custom made, physical find like Kaepernick able to execute it consistently without getting killed... its worthless.

Ultimately, dropback passers rule, if you cant do that... forget it.
