What do you guys think about highly touted high school QB prospects going to teams running the spread offense in the future? For the most part, good spread QBs really aren't much of an NFL prospect (at least at the QB position) which has killed a lot of other types of college offenses in the past (Triple Option, Wishbone, etc)

Since the offense is still in its infancy, Vince Young and Alex Smith are about all we have to base it off of. However Urban Meyer ran the offense a bit differently then he does now with Tebow (Smith was passing a lot more often and seemed logical that he could succeed in an NFL style offense) and the offense Texas was running had some spread principles mixed in with a shot gun offense, they weren't running a lot of the crazy shit you see now it was mostly just a zone-read with the QB/tailback. I can't really see guys like Pat White, Dennis Dixon and Tim Tebow playing QB in the NFL. Even spread offenses that are more pass orientated seem to lack in the NFL prospects, like every year a new Texas Tech QB is breaking all types of records yet none of them ever do anything in the NFL.

While plenty of QBs who played at colleges with NFL style offenses haven't done dick in the pros, it still seems like a more attractive option since you at least have a chance to prove yourself while a lot of spread QBs are written off as "Runners" or "products of a gimmick passing attack"
