NFL QB's throw the ball abt. 40 to 50 times a game. Most teams don't really feature the RB anymore. Think 6' 5" QB and 4 or 5 WR's at 6' 4" or more.
The league is ready for the Read Option.

This started to happening a little bit the day Vince Young was drafted, but these things take a long time in the NFL. I do wonder if the adaptation to the spread will last long enough to render it largely outmoded, as happened with the West Coast.

Your right... They usually have 3/4 running backs who can all play, and usually 3/4 reliable receivers, I really think the days of always playing pro style is over, it going to be a cesspool of all different types of offenses soon

I would call a variety of offenses a boon, and frankly the only time the NFL is really interesting is during these times of flux.

Funny. I thought that the conventional wisdom was that the SEC teams won because they played tougher smash-mouth football.

SEC teams win because they are stronger, faster, and better coached.

Um... Who said that? It's defensive line speed and depth- we were by no means a smash mouth team in 2006 (we were I'm 2008 which kind of undermines the belief by some that the spread option can't be power football our 2008 and 2009 teams were the best rushing offenses in gator history by most stats) , auburn was a pretty pure spread option team ala the Ducks.
