A detailed read on QB styles from Eagles Insider
Eagle Eye: Pro-Style Vs. Spread QBs www.philadelphiaeagles.com Readability
Excerpt
Quarterback has always been one of the hardest positions to project when transitioning from college to the NFL, and it has only gotten harder with the advent of the spread offense and all of its forms. It should be noted, however, that not all spread offenses are created equal. Some are run-based (like Oregon), others are pass-based (Baylor), some have a lot of NFL concepts mixed in (Maryland) and others not as much (Nevada). There are hundreds of schools all across the scope of the landscape.
The lines between what has historically been considered "pro style" and "spread" or "college style" have been blurred progressively as time has lapsed. More spread concepts are leaking into the NFL and have been very effective. Chip Kelly has proven that it works. Pete Carroll and the Seattle Seahawks run more zone-read than anyone and have been to the last two Super Bowls. "Packaged plays" that every team in college implements are en vogue right now in the NFL (Grantland’s Chris Brown did a great piece on this two seasons ago).
