in that offense in college and had great nfl careers?


Oregons offense specifically? None.

But spread offenses? Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Cam Newton, Drew Brees I think even. To name a few.

Mariota may or may not be successful, but if you think it's because "no other Oregon QB's" have succeeded in the NFL, then that's a dumb stance to base your opinion on.

I didn't mean Oregon specifically, but spread option like auburn ran. And Mariotta isn't on Cam's level. And cam still has his struggles.

Spread offenses is way too general to categorize. There is a huge difference between what Rodgers ran and what Mariota ran.
