Hope Sparano is aware of this: Nah, read option doesn't work in the NFL.

    Got any highlights of Superbowl teams operating primarily with a Read-Option Offense?

    Read Option is a play, not an offense. It can be a way to run the ball out of shotgun, because the read option is run out of shotgun.

    But it's not a way of life, not and offense, not the basis for an offense, or anything to worry about.

    How many times had the SB been won by a WCO offense prior to Bill Walsh ??

    Not to quibble, but you could base an offense off of read option, and I don't know that I'd call it a "play" because there are any number of read option plays that you can run, Power, dive, counter, trap, veer, inverted veer, yada, yada, yada.
