is not its simplicity, I think simple offenses can work - though
the best (GB, NE, NO) are very complex. My issue with his
offense is that it is predicated entirely on speed. They line up
and essentially say things like "our RBs will beat your LBs to
the edge every time." In college that idea works, and it frees
up lots of other opportunities...it won't in the NFL.

Received     Well, I would argue that New England pretty much
ran an Air Raid type offense back when Brady threw 50 TD's and
they went 18-0. Whatever year that was, 2010?      What's clear
to me is that there is a spot in the NFL for an offense like
Kelly's. You're seeing a lot more teams running spread
variations and certainly a lot of teams borrowing concepts of
the pistol and zone read offense
