A mobile QB is better for the RPO

The collective sentiment here was to shite on anyone saying this. But it’s absolutely true. A lot of RPOs are triple options, the Qb can hand off, run, or pass. Also the whole thing is more versatile if the QB is a threat to run. This is not to say the read option is different than RPO, but it all connects.

It’s absolutely beneficial, former players and coaches say it all the time. Tell them how they are wrong

In CFB where you only have a few yrs at most to develop a QB, I think a “mobile” QB is a necessity. They all don’t need to be JD fast obviously but they need to be Joey B level runners.
It just unlocks so much more when defenses have to account for the QB running the ball.

Totally agree, but you still have to be a passer. Both are needed, but I will always prioritize the passing over the running.

Holy word salad, Batman.

It’s not word salad if you can understand it. Let me explain it more bluntly, it’s a triple option as in 3 options, if the QB can run, if not it’s only two, that’s one more than one and one less than 3. You get it now?

R = Run …..why the fuk would you have anything different than a mobile qb for RPO lol

Well the QB can hand it off to the running back, ala Eagles when they won the SB with Foles. But it works best if the defense has to account for the QB keeping it, as well as handing it off or throwing it. I know math is not many peoples strong suits, but 3 is more than 2

You could have just stopped when you typed:

Because the arguments you make in the OP apply to any offense. Spread, I, West Coast, Power, Pistol, Pro-style, Wing-T, Single Wing, Double Wing, etc.

But the point you ignore from the previous threads is this: an RPO does not require a running QB because the play is not designed to have the QB run the ball.
In short: Moron. You're a fricking moron.

It doesn’t require it but it works better with a QB that is a threat to keep. Guaranteed your bitch arse couldn’t start a thread that was in any way thought provoking if your life depended on it.

People who lack understanding like you always say this, “Yes any play is better if the QB can run”, but it’s especially true of RPO and coaches and players recognize this fact.

The run in run-pass option is generally not referring to a QB run lol

An RPO is just a special form of play action. Regular play action is also helped with a mobile QB

It’s word salad because it has little basis in reality. Maybe 10 teams in the FBS run triple option other than as an occasional gadget play.
The one read RPO is what the VAST majority of teams run because it’s an easy play that doesn’t take long to develop. You can also run it with any OL and QB. Neither has to be super athletic to pull it off.
It’s nice if you have a mobile QB who can create something if the one read RPO breaks down, but that’s no different than any other busted play.
