Spread option
They said the spread option wouldn't work in the NFL that the NFL defenses are too fast... Well, welcome Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers to new spread offense to the NFL that gashed Green Bay last night... Knew it would happen...

Funny huh?!?! It would never work! The defenses are too quick! Hahaha such a joke, I don't get how if it works in college against players, how it won't work against the same players in the NFL... Tebow would be just as good in the 49ers offense..

That long Kaepernick run reminded me of Driskel's 70 yarder vs. Vanderbilt.

Yeah, when Tebow ran it it was a joke or a band-aid for a QB that can't play the traditional pocket QB position.
NFL analysts (ESPiN people) are hypocrites/haters.

I agree!! Tim needs to find a team that will do what the 49ers have done for Colin! I love how when Tebow ran the ball that meant he couldn't throw, but when he threw it was to elongated and he dropped his hand too much.. Now Colin pushes the ball half the the time and is perfect! No offense to him I hope he succeeds and shows the NFL the spread option works in the NFL... NFL defense have shown recently they do not have a clue on how to defend the spread, NFL defenses are used to single back, I formations, and simple shotgun... That's the normal they made for the NFL

The more I look back and remember all the crap the so-called experts said about Tim's throwing motion the more I realize it was all made-up bunk. There a quit a few QB's with weird quirky throwing motions in the NFL that do okay.

Any offense can work in any league.

There was a QB out of BYU named Steve Young who had en elongated throwing motion, and wa a lefty who by NFL experts standards shouldn't of made it in the NFL!

Well the " Experts " they say not so fast. Because in the NFL they're faster! Well that's because every team runs out of the same offensive styles so the defense knows what's coming! If you run a spread, like last night, you can see how easily confused players like AJ Hawk, who benefit playing in these slow developing NFL offenses, get from the spread. And it's not a knock on AJ Hawk but my personal belief is that he's a product of his conference ( Big 10 ) which is single back/I formations and they're really slow developing... He shines against teams like that... Last night he was confused an got burned multiple times!

Give NFL D coordinators a year to break it down on film. They'll find a way to stop it.

Slow it down, not stop it... They had a spy on Colin last night it never worked. I'm just saying if it works against players like AJ Hawk in college, how would if not work against them in the NFL?

Perfect! NFL is so hell bent on not getting the spread option in their league they want to stick to the traditional boring plays, I personally think its because some coaches are worried about getting gashed...

Really? If a QB can throw it like Tom Brady but can also run like a tight-end/receiver then how do you make any progress in stopping him with the same 11 guys on defense?
It's like adding nitrous to you car's engine...... It makes it run faster, harder to stop.

Zing! Imagine taking Tebow with some of oregon's running backs, Percy Harvin, Aaron Hernandez, both pounceys, and a possession receiver... Scary....

Was San Francisco running the spread option a few weeks ago against Seattle?
