With Mahomes out for who knows how long, the inevitable cry goes out that Colon Kap would be the 'perfect' replacement. I just read one piece claiming that KC and Andy Reid run the West Coast Offense, and that CK ran that very thing in SF.
No he didn't. Jim Harbaugh installed the Spread Option for CK to run in SF - because that's the only thing he can run. In college at Nevada he mastered The Pistol, a Triple Option Spread with the QB standing behind the line not quite as far back as a Shotgun Formation. He would then run left or right, hand it off, pass it, or keep it.
Worked brilliantly. In college. Problem is, it gets people hurt running it against an NFL level defense.
Anyway, shouldn't we just give up on CK coming back? Not only isn't he suited for this level for any length of time, LeBron says people should be fired for saying (or doing) anything that disrupts profits in sports, so what's the problem?
