I'm sure we'll get some TL;DR out of this, but a football fan should really find it fascinating. It focuses on how variable offenses have become and does so largely through the lens of the Oklahoma State's dominant offense last year.

As a Mizzou fan, I remember the Chase Daniel offenses being the real forerunners of this concept. Daniel was given complete autonomy to just do whatever the hell he wanted back there based almost exclusively on how the defense set up.

Highly recommend the read; it's probably too long to just post.
