conversation dumber than it needs to be and trying to herd everyone into little corrals of thought.
Here's the salient overarching point on Kelly's offense: "Teams have won with the spread at a high level so I can't argue definitively or even strongly that it won't or can't work."
I do have a preference and opinion, but this is the asshole conversation to me. So does everyone else, but I don't think anyone has a clue on this issue. I don't like Kelly's offense, but I have to acknowledge that it's been successful.
When it comes to offensive scheme we're all stumbling around blind. I have an opinion and I'm happy to share it, but I don't think anyone's opinion, including my own, is worth much on this issue which is why I'll argue back against definitive statements like, "Kelly needs to run an Alabama offense." I like Alabama's offense, but I don't think it's necessary.
I have no idea why this causes so much angst.

The fullback conversation was inane because the team cited stopped using the fullback and was very successful. The team was Alabama.
