NFL: So the spread, zone option offense will never work in the NFL huh?

[TeamPlayer1]

I'm not sure if you remember the short experimentation with the wishbone offense in the NFL. The offense was awesome in the college game, Texas with coach Royal and the Oklahoma teams that had 700+ yds rushing one game with Jack Mildren and Greg Pruitt were stunning.

The solution in the NFL was to pound the QB on every play. Any time the QB ran outside the tackles the QB was drilled on every play because the option depends on deception.

How long does the star QB survive the heavy hits?
