Why don't we see the 'run and shoot' offense in the NFL anymore?

It would be great for fantasy football.

Why would run and shoot be better than a current offense for fantasy fooball?

Good point. I guess these days 4 wr sets are pretty common. The Pats have sort of made it into an art form.

Cause it sucks.

Cause unless you're the Texans, when you invest millions into a QB you usually like to keep him upright every couple of downs.

People who run the run and shoot offense get punched in the face in front of their families.

[sirensong 111]

don't have time to read the posted article, so here's the short, short version:

 

1--RNS is 1-dimensional. the defense can afford to give up a few 10yd draws in order to create consistent pressure on the QB. therefore, the RNS allows more creativity by the opposing DC.

 

2--due to the extensive use of cover 2 schemes in the RZ, the RNS is piss-poor inside the 20. huge yardage, but not a lot of points.

 

3--QB mortality rate.

 

4--need an elite back to generate any kind of running game. even the TE-based "fun and gun" of the lions was unworkable without sanders. in the cap era, a top-quality RB, in addition to top QB/WR/OL means no defense whatsoever.

When has this strategy won a SB?

 

Until this happens, no one will go for it.
