Pro Style vs The Spread

Missouri flat sucked for years until they employed the spread. They are having some success lately. But you need a good D to compliment it. Several teams run a version of the spread. Many are pro style and are very effective. Its dependant on the talent running either style offense that makes it work. Bottom line is either style is effective if you have the horses to run it.

I would argue that Defensive knowledge and their horses have a lot to do with it.

If the first national title didn't provide a significant clue . . . shouldn't the second national title in 3 years have convinced you?

He is talking about playing at the next level. Not college success, but rather which offensive style will do you better in the long run.

I hate the spread, it doesent prepare you for anything. Sure its good for college but terrible in the long run. Which is why Gram Harrel doesent have a job in the league. Which is why crabtrees draft stock was hurt a little because of route running from the spread.

For QBs it's obviously pro-style

5 random NFL star backs

Moreno- pro system
McFadden & Felix Jones-Spread
Cadillac & Ronnie Brown- pro

Crabtree & Maclin are coming from teams that ran a spread

Receivers & tight ends can benefit from either system if they're good enough. It's more about talent than stats

10 all pro o-lineman

1. Joe Thomas -Wisconsin pro style
2. Matt Light- Purdue (hey he played for Cregg)
3. Alan Faneca- LSU Pro
4. Tom Nalen- he played with the zone blocking Denver Broncos. pro style
5. Flozell Adams- played under Saban at MSU- pro style
6. Steve Hutchinson- Michigan -pro style
7. Jeff Saturday- North carolina - pro style
8. Willie Anderson- Auburn pro style
9. Orlando Pace-OSU pro style
10. Walter Jones- Florida State Pro style

The best O-lineman and QBs come from a pro-style offense, but the times they are a changing and it might start to balance out. And who is to say those O-lineman couldn't have played and got drafted from a spread school?
