Proving it for 9 weeks doesn't mean squat really. Panthers ran read option last year, and ran it this year. It's not working this year. Hell, it's not even as affective with us now as it was in the beginning.


I would like to take back to John Fox and Tim Tebow. They basically modified their offense to a read option/college type offense. Even goes as far to say Tebow would be screwed in a conventional offense.

Smart like a Fox: Broncos coach adapts to Tebow's strengths - NFL.com

Fox has been on record as saying that type of offense wasn't going to cut it for long in the NFL. Which is why you saw them jettison Tebow during the off-season.

I think the read option can work on occasions, but not as a main part of your offense.
