Will we see more of the college zone read offense influence in the NFL?

Tebow and Newton continue to run it well and RGIII may be able to take it to the next level w/ his superior athleticism. I still would like to see it work against the Steelers and 49ers 1st.

I sure fricking hope not. It's the main reason I've lost interest in college football.

Most teams won't want to run their 100 million dollar investments so I doubt it

It's not going to be part of anyone's base offense, but we'll continue to see teams with an athletic QB run it sparingly as a change-up.

Or run plays where the QB passes when/if he pulls the ball back.

Only rarely. College crap very seldom works in the NFL. Ask Spurrier and his "Fun and Gun" he brought to the Redskins. The guy was a laughing stock!

Well to be fair to Spurrier, his fun and gun doesn't work at the college level now either. It was a scheme that was successful for a time because it capitalized on defensive tendencies of that time.
