[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 910588, member: 2299"] So basically when it comes to the positives, the option is different than what everyone else does and so gives us a scheme advantage, but when it's time to talk about the negatives its everyone employs option principals so those negatives don't exist. Man really walking that fine line between different from what everyone else is doing and everyone employs its concepts. But there is only one group saying we can't do something, with the implication heavily being that we shouldn't try to compete in that area, and that's those saying we must have a special snowflake offense. "We can't recruit with clemson or uga so we have to do something else". That same group also puts forth the idea that the option is the solution to the handicap of having worse recruiting. So add one and one. If we can't recruit to a certain level and there exists a magic offense to make it so we don't have to recruit to a higher level what is the logical conclusion? That we shouldn't worry about? That is the conclusion that is being led to even if it isn't being said directly. But all of this is akin to someone trying to run a race with a broken leg and the option folks are arguing that a wheelchair is better than crutches. Maybe. But better still is to fix the broken leg. That's the response to your bold. The solution to our recruiting disadvantage is to try and recruit better. There isn't a magical workaround to that. Address the actual issue because even "scheme offenses" will also need to recruit better.
