LSJ might not be the answer, but all the points you tried to make were base off of PRO football. To say you need Cam Newton to run the spread in college is laughable. The most successful offenses in college are spread offenses

I stand corrected. To win a national championship in college football, which is akin to NFL level football and coaching, to do it with a spread system you will need a Cam Newton, which if my memory serves me he's the last player to win it capable of passing for 200 plus and running for 100. Not Nick Marshall, who came close. Not Dak. Not Johnny Football. Not Lamar Jackson who plays Duke Wake Forrest and Syracuse etc.

But since I argued what's wrong with LSJ, how about what it would take for him to succeed. Again, I watched him for two years every play. Full all out spread option implemented. Quick passes. A legitimate threat to run by him which means exposing him to hits. WRs who can extend plays and break routes when he rolls out. As some NFL scout just said on TV qbs must dominate the game from within the pocket. LSJ isn't that. Why would the coaches change the entire offense and what's being asked of everyone for one player to succeed with no guarantee of team success.
