Read option QBs fail because of the emphasis placed on first read and never going through progressions. The first read is there for QBs in college like 80% of the time. In the pros, like 20%. So, 4/5 times, the first read isn't there and there is the natural inclination to run. They don't go through progressions. Russell Wilson runs, but he's play pro style offenses in college. These other QBs have not and it shows once they show up in the pros.

big10 is has pro style offenses breh? :gag:

On plays with five or more pass rushes mariota is completing 73 percent of his passes highest for a power 5 qb with at least 40 attempts



Marcus mariota is completing 54 percent of his passes thrown 15 yards or longer second among power 5 qbs behind deshaun Watson and 16 percentage points higher than the power 5 average

Marcus mariota has 19 total games with a qbr over 90 highest out of everyone since 2004
In respect, those receivers aren't going to be wide ass open like that in the NFL.

Mariota is playing behind a botched like and throwing to a hurdles champion with no size in Devon Allen, a converted rb to wr in Byron Marshall

No Addison no pharoah brown and he's Stoll getting it done.

Y'all don't even watch the games his receivers aren't wide open

How the fukk is Oregons O a gimmick? Because they spread out nh and make the defense cover the width of the entire field? That's a gimmick? Is Phillys offense a gimmick? Or is it just a gimmick because it's not "pro style" and that's the way yall are used to football being played.
