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
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.

I disagree. A spread Qb has to do more development in the pros b/c while there are now a ton of spread concepts in the NFL, most offenses still don't use it for more than anything other than a few packages.
If the NFL was all spread instead of pro style, the pro style QBs would have jsut as much trouble "catching up" b/c they would be doing things they aren't accustomed to.
Basically, its a reps thing more than anything else.
PS of course everything int he NFL is more complicated. The athletes are better. ALL QBs have to learn how to deal with that.

Brees ran Tiller's One-Back offense from under Center but they ran a lot of all verticals off the line. A lot of what Leach incorporated into his TTU offense to combat the matchup zone or pattern reading defenses were doing to combat his variant of Air Raid.
Sumlin was the Receivers coach on Tiller's Brees teams.
