How does a guy that’s entire living is football not know the difference between RPO and read option?
It’s not that we don’t know the difference between an RPO and a read option, Kap @49ers- read option, Foles @Eagles- RPO. Schematically I also understand the difference. What I, and others are saying is this- if the LB has to decide between following the TE or collapsing toward the RB and he does move up to the RB then the QB throws to TE that’s a RPO. That LB had a 50/50 decision to make. However, if through the course of that game the QB has taken off a half dozen times for 5-7 yards each time then LB’s decision % is no longer 50/50 because now he has to account for 2 people running out the backfield bc he got burned before, therefore giving the QB an easier chance of getting the throw to the abandoned TE.
Explain to me what about that doesn’t make sense.

It’s not that it doesn’t make sense it’s that it has nothing to do with an RPO. It’s just the added stress on a defense that every running quarterback causes on every single drop back.
You can replace RPO in your post with any other play or route tree and everything remains factual.
The RPO was created as a way to stress the defense in the same way as a read option but do it with a non mobile QB.
It’s like saying you can’t run the veer because your line is too small when that’s literally what the offense was designed for.

Having a QB that can take off an run is a plus in literally any offense.
But it doesn’t make sense to say you can’t run RPOs with immobile QBs.
