Quote:That offense would get absolutely crushed. You can't put your QB in that many running situations or they turn up like Vick and RG3.

While I understand this position, it is largely based on the fact that people do not draft QBs for this position. I think it would be possible if you pick people specifically for this role. People like Vick, RGIII or the yet to be injured Kaepernick(speed runners with small frames) are not the only QB body types. Someone built more along the lines of Roeth, Garrard, Luck, Newton, etc could probably run this type of offense.


Whether or not it would work is another question but the matter of QB durability is largely based on the idea that someone like Brady or Flacco couldn't take that kind of pounding. That is correct, but you would not be taking Brady or Flacco to run that style of offense in the NFL. Think about a team taking a guy like Charles or Sproles and running them up the middle in power plays all day. That wouldn't work either. People with different skill sets are used differently in every position.
