The NFL media is such a joke because they're so myopic and are always the epitome of the prisoner of the moment mindset. When the Dolphins had success with the Wildcat against the Pats, they were lining up to declare that it wasn't a fad and that it would be here to stay. Ditto for the read option during RG3's rookie year. Speaking of RG3, they also declared that he had officially revolutionized the QB position. Of the Wildcat, read option and RG3, none will make an appearance this Sunday.
You're pretty ignorant. Russell Wilson has gone to two Super Bowl's as the starting QB of an offense that runs a sh!tload of Zone Read/Read Option.
Kapernick took a team to the Super Bowl and on that playoff run Harbaugh ran a sh!tload of zone read/read option.
Your boy Chip Kelly in Philly went to the playoff last year running a good bit of zone read as well.
You could not possibly be more ignorant in thinking that Washington's trainwreck of an OL (who got RG3 sacked more times than any other QB in the League in each of the past two seasons) was some sort've nail in the zone-read's coffin.
Hilarious that you talk about RG3 and ignore Wilson and Kapernick in SF. But it also shows you have confirmation bias. You'll ignore the myriad of examples where its being implemented as a major-not just complementary-part of offenses around the League and succeeding for playoff, SuperBowl-caliber-teams and use one of the 5 worst NFL Franchises as an example to confirm your own biased opinions.
That's a picture perfect example of confirmation bias at work, Bro. Congrats on the ignorance and logic fails.

Wilson
Dialed back the running in year two. his game isn't built on running per se. It's built on mobility to get out of the pocket and pass down field.

Kaeppernick
Got away with half a year of running the ball. Then teams adjusted and his team hasn't been the same since.

Chip Kelly
Again, he "spreads" the field, not unlike a west coast offense would, but the reliance on the QBs legs is very limited.
The zone read will never become a mainstay of the NFL; the liability to the QB is too great, plus when you have DEs and LBs who can run as fast as the QB, it's less effective.
A spread principal isn't some new concept. The Rams were doing that back in the 90s and Bill Walsh pioneered the concept of fanning Receivers out to create space decades ago.
