    QB trainers over the years hear their clients critique WCO systems, specifically Shanny variants, as leaning too coordinator-centric and treating QBs as executors of the OC’s personal video game.

    Those offenses feature tons of shifts and motions, which takes time and timing. This limits how the QB can operate before the snap because they have to get all of the motion started before the play clock winds down.

    These offenses, unless there is a Stafford, Rodgers or Matt Ryan, also put protections and defensive IDing on the Center (which they also want to happen quickly because, again, the motion stuff). They want the QB to keep his eyes up and head clear to grip it and rip it.

    But, when we see the clip of Tom Brady lamenting about QB operation, a lot of that can be tied to the “other side” of the proliferation of these offenses.

    Fun and sound scheme, but it leads to a strict operation for the QB and others on the field.

    the QBs that we currently see doing the repointing and sand drawing that we love; like Dak Prescott, Justin Herbert, Aaron Rodgers, Joe Burrow, hell even Josh Allen, all have one thing in common: they aren’t in a Shanahan offense (or a true one in Burrow’s and Rodgers’ cases).

    Reid’s offense is not a Shanahan-derived system. It’s more of his own style WCO with roots back to Holmgren.
