    This got double posted (one in the Goff thread) so I made a judgment call and went with this stand alone version.

    This is an exchange from the older one:

    ok before i post this article. am i completely wrong or is this article off base?

    i mean i know the nfl has adopted more spread concepts and i know goff was an air raid qb in college.

    but in the pros goff is largely a pro style qb in a scheme that runs a lot of play action.

    Well you;re right, he spends more time under center than any other qb.

    That whole “the league adopted the spread and that’s what Goff is doing” stuff in that article, it’s nonsense.

    yeah. goff would seem to be the worst example of the league adopting the spread. rather, the speed with which he’s adapted to playing in a pro-style offense is the story to me. it’s a credit to both goff and mcvay that they’ve come this far so quickly.

    mahomes would seem to be a better example of how the league has transitioned to a spread offense. you get a traditional wco guy like reid adapting to the player instead of vice versa. or a trubisky. both of whom play primarily in shotgun.

    makes me wonder how or if other young qbs could have made that transition the way goff did.

    Back when Rich Rodriquez was coaching the WVU football team, he ran a spread. He was very successful with it. One of the coaches who perfected it early on.

    Anyway, he was always asked about the ‘execution’ aspect of the approach because he was known for teams that executed well. And he talked about how they dont have that many plays and they just keep practicing the same assortment of plays over and over and over.

    And i wonder if McVay thinks that way. The Rams execute so well. And the tv pundits keep emphasizing how few concepts the Rams really have. Just lots of variations off the same tunes.

    I wonder if that helps with execution.
