You can throw out of the spread in the NFL with a lot of effectiveness. That said, you can throw out of pretty much any formation with a lot of effectiveness, so I'm not a big fan of the spread in the NFL.

College, yes, you can at least run the QB out of the spread. Not in the NFL.

You can not argue that it does help create space. I'm not saying do it on 80-100% of our run plays. But it sure will not hurt to do it more than we currently do. I watch NE run out of spread formations all the time. Of course it doesn't hurt when you have R. Moss on the outside keeping the safties honest.
