But a running game where there is a lot of misdirection, where the defense has to tackle three different possible ball carriers, and they can still throw the ball using the same concepts as the first scenario is gimmicky and easy to scheme against. That is so stupid. Some of these football people are so simple minded in their ways of thinking. It is and can be an amazing offense with people like RGIII running it in the NFL, but their is a greater risk of injury and roster size limitations, and contracts, and salary caps that become new issues in the NFL not seen in college. That is the biggest hurdle. Risking your franchise QB to injury every week.

And that is the very reason why it won't work. Teams will take out the QB in that type of offense. Not just one or two teams, but every team will make sure they hit the QB.

That is the pure definition of "cut off the head and the body will die". Griffin is not going to succeed in the current offensive scheme ... literally. They have to transition him to a pocket oriented attack.
