[Fly Like a Duck]

It helps but I wouldn't say it is necessary for improvement. It just comes down to athletes and coaching. I've watched a lot of high school football around the Atlanta and DC metro areas over the past ten years or so, two of the hottest areas for football talent in the country, and most teams there run it 80-90% of the time. If you have the talent you can run whatever offense you want. I will say you can do more with less in an offense like the spread though.

I respectfully disagree. Unless you are talking about spreading it out to run it, then I'll agree with that. Teams that spread it out and chuck it all over the place with below average QB's, are some of the worst teams I see every year. I always get a kick out of hearing the ole "we want to get our athletes the ball in space" and their so called "athletes" are lucky to run a 4.9 40 with the wind at their back.
