"The read option is dead, just a gimmick that has gone the way of the wild cat."
NFL coordinators have done a great job of making the read option offense look like the latest fad that is no longer in fashion.
The read option was hot in 2013, and then cooled its wheels in 2014.
Why?
Because Colin Kaepernick and EJ Manuel are too tall to be running backs, and neither of them can throw accurately.
I think NFL coaches had it right when they thought they could use the read option to their advantage, but they seriously got it wrong when they thought a 6'4 or more QB could run the read option show.
