hen a defense can play pro-quality man-to-man coverage on 4 and 5 receivers the "secret" of the spread is nullified.
Agreed. Also, a big plus in a spread is a QB making 3 to 5 big plays with his legs each game. We all know how that works out in the NFL.

It's obvious that most in this thread did not actually read the whole article.
The article mostly talks about why college spread offenses are ruining the quarterback play in the NFL. Most of the interviewees agreed that it is more difficult to draft a QB now more than ever because most of the draftees don't know how to properly read defenses.
The dumbass Brown's GM proved why he is the Brown's GM, what a moron.

I think what he is trying to say is that the high school and college game is so spread heavy now, that there aren't enough polished prospects anymore come draft time. A lot of pro teams think their way is the only way, and it has hurt them because they try and force a square peg into a round hole. It's also the reason average QB's like Christian Ponder or Jake Locker are drafted in the first round now. Teams are paying a premium for inferior talent just because they have experience in a pro-style system which is kind of dumb.
Part of the reason teams like the Patriots, Packers, and Seahawks have been so successful is because they are willing to adapt their systems to the college talent pool. I'm not saying all NFL teams need to start running the Air Raid, but if you have a good QB that has played in that system his whole life, why try and change everything he has done to be successful? At least be willing to adapt to his skill set.

It takes you to 3 consecutive Super Bowl's and for one QB wins you one (and should have won you a second)?
