re: RPO rate by QB

The RPO percentage is a product of the reads the QB has. The percentage has nothing to do with the offense. The RPO is based on what the QB reads. He does NOT audible a new play if he sees the original play which is normally a called run is blocked. He locates a certain defensive player and this helps him to determine which one of 5 players is likely to be open. Or if a QB or RB run is in order. Normally the initial play call is a run. The offensive line has no problem with any play because it zone blocks. The QB normally sees the Pass receiver that will be open and throws the ball to him in his pattern. The percent the QB runs the ball on a play is based on what the Opposing D allows. If they open it up that’s why the run is generally pretty good.
