Look at how many spread QBs have succeeded when just a few years ago, people said they won’t last. 

This “pro style translates better” may have worked a while ago but look at how many NFL offenses have drastically changed their offense to fit today’s college QBs.

It does matter. If it doesn't matter, where are all the triple option QB's in the NFL? As far as the air raid offense, maybe at one time it was considered gimmicky, but now NFL teams are running their own variations of it and it's becoming fairly normal. As the NFL adopts certain schemes the stigma on them goes away, but there are still college schemes that teams run, which basically limit any progression a QB may show as a passer. NFL teams stay away from QB's who are in such schemes, so it does matter when translating to the NFL. You're stuck on the air raid or spread offenses and those two are commonplace in the NFL now. You still have to go through your progressions as a passer in those schemes. They aren't one read offenses.

All different schools, offenses, schemes, height, arm strength..... so ultimately, none of that really matters because if we knew the answer as to which one worked in the NFL, teams wouldn’t miss so often on QBs.

And honestly, none of this matters if we don’t get the right HC or OC next year. Wilson or Fiels.... it won’t matter. They need to be set up for success.

Not from triple option schemes.
