Eventually they will have to transition him to a pocket oriented attack where the option is still an occasional threat but one used less often.

Now if you would have said that it would be hard to disagree with you. Your previous statement is just mindlessly bashing the offensive style, when in reality as a short term solution it is a schematically better offense than a pro style. It is just hard to be consistent long term with your QB in that offense. Now if a team wanted to go full triple option/pistol and signed every Vince Young, Tebow, Slash type player they could for the cheap and have a stable of QBs to run it, it would be interesting. Not as dangerous as with a RGIII, but less worry about keeping your no 1 QB healthy. A better offense than some of these awful teams in the NFL with bad QB play running a traditional pro style.
