Someone tried telling me Drew Brees came out of the spread offense.. any truth to that? Is there anyone thats been succesfull in the NFL to come out of the spread offense? The only guy I can think of of the top of my head is Grossman, and he sucks.

I think Steve Young came out of the spread.

Grossman came from the Fun N' Gun. Urban Meyer runs the Spread Option. Alex Smith, Omar Jacobs, Josh Harris were all spread option QBs drafted in the NFL. Smith was a monumental bust and the latter two never panned out. Michael Bishop ran the spread option a little at K-State. Joey Harrington was a spread QB, as were David Klingler, Andre Ware, Akili Smith. Manning, Brady, Palmer, Rivers, McNabb (to a lesser extent), Cutler all came from a standard pro-style offense.

It was a lot like the spread. When Jim McMahon and Steve Young ran it and went on to NFL success they were great QBs. When Ty Detmer won the Heisman and went on to flop in the NFL he was a system QB. Sure the system inflates numbers but if you are a good QB your are a good QB.

The Quacks didn't put in the spread offense until after Joey Fivepick left (after Kellen Clemens, actually), when Dennis Dixon took over. Harrington operated under Tedford's West Coast offense.
Doesn't invalidate your point. Just sayin' |

I thought they ran it after Tedford left? 2002 right? Hmmm...guess not.

They ran some weird hybrid offense for awhile, they didn't get full on into the spread till recently.

Right, cause he doesn't ever face NFL DTs or DEs while playing in the SEC or bowl games... like, y'know, Glen Dorsey, Vernon Gholston, Quentin Groves, Pat Sims, Andre Fluellen, Justin Harrell, Alan Branch, Quinn Pitcock, Jamaal Anderson, Turk McBride.

That would be funny if the chiefs hired mecca to scout for them.
He would always be at USC hanging out in their locker room and being a towel boy for them when they took their showers to get a good look at their physical bodies. Maybe give them a rub down or two. |
