Is the read option here to stay?

Good contrast.

It will be interesting to see how defenses adapt this year and how many...if any new teams will try to incorporate it into their offense. Also how the offenses react to the reaction. Once the wildcat was figured out it just disappeared...

I don't think it'll "disappear" like the wildcat. The wildcat was conceptually stupid, the read option isn't, per-say, but it's like a step up above double reverses and flea flickers. You'll see it still with quarterbacks who can run it, because it can add to an offense, add to plays beyond the read/option itself. But I can't see any NFL offense being based off it like you see in college. It's just a wrinkle
