rodgers also wasn't in a "spread" but the tedford passing system is in large part based in similar concepts and his QBs were seen as robots

...

kind of the exact same argument being made by arians

also, to sprinkle more wrinkles, brady played in a super pro-style scheme at UM...only to go to a spread-based system in NE

They didn't go to a spread based system until later in his career

Has to be easier moving from a traditional pro-style system to a spread rather than the opposite.....

Didn't the system Brees play was my of a hybrid compared to what we see today?

I think this comment is missing the point.

The NE spread offense is a sophisticated passing offense that relies heavily on Brady being able to read defenses both pre-snap and post snap. The WRs run the entire route tree and protections are sophisticated.

The spread offenses in college aren't that way. The protections are simple. The pre-snap reads are much simpler. Read option teams are even further away from a sophistication standpoint in the passing game.

In other words, a QB who plays in a pro style passing offense in college will be more suited to play in a NE type spread offense. A spread QB in college is typically have much more development required to run that offense.

thats what I was coming to say

Brady is essentially a spread QB for the most part these days. So is Brees. Hell, there are shite load of spread concepts in many an NFL offense now.
