you're an idiot if you don't think their offense's ceiling is higher when everyone's on the same page, as opposed to more traditional offenses.
Every offense is better when it is clicking than when it isn't. I just pointed out your convenient disclaimer so that any future discussion can go something like this:
"They're unstoppable!"
"Well, they just lost to ___ and only scored ____."
"But they weren't clicking, still unstoppable!!!"
Does anyone have any theories on why these types of teams typically do not play good defense?

Most of these teams move to such an offense to cover up their relative lack of talent. That lack of talent usually extends to the defensive side of the ball, where it's much more difficult to mask any deficiencies through systems changes.

The issue for Air raid/Spread teams is that they may be successful the first few years using this system, but defenses adapt.
Look at what happened to Urban Meyer his last 2 years at Florida or Oregon when facing good pro style teams. It is why you longer see the triple option really anywhere in football anymore, minus the spread zone read option stuff.
I like how people are using A&M against Bama as an example for this. Yes, A&M was able to shell schock Bama early, but they also allowed Bama to come back and be within 2 yards of winning that game.
Bama isn't giving up a 20 point lead to anyone with their offense.
The NFL is going more spread oriented because 75% of the draftable offensive players are coming from spread systems.
What is the biggest franchise altering position in the NFL? The QB. So when you draft these guys out of college who have barely ever taken a snap from center these offenses adjust to fit their QB's skill set.
The pro style offense will always be the most successful type of offense, but it requires skilled enough players to run it. Look at how much the offensive production has increased at Bama as the level of skill players continue to increase.
