[QUOTE="JacketFromUGA, post: 169534, member: 2101"] The absolute biggest reason the run option isn't used that much is fan perception. If an owner wanted to do it they would need to be 100% on board and have a GM who is 100% on board to deal with the incessant abuse form fans over the decision. That's why I think if a team were to do it it would be an expansion team just starting out. Look at all the flak Chip Kelly is getting for installing a passing option offense at the Eagles. The QB issue I think would work out if you have a solid 1 and 2 2's on the roster. Most teams don't want to pay and invest in 3 QB's though with a run option type team you may be able to get 3 guys for cheaper than 1 Drew Brees. [/QUOTE]
