Sincere question: How does Detmer’s offense compare to modern NFL offenses?
I don’t watch the NFL much, but my understanding is that the NFL offenses have adopted more spread concepts, even if they don’t use the read option.

For example, this article discusses the percentage of offensive snaps in the shotgun formation: https://apnews.com/af674018db6841e797be22120f0ad6f9
The Patriots take about 50% of their snaps in the shotgun formation. Even the lowest shotgun team, the Atlanta Falcons, still take over a third of their snaps out of the shotgun formation. How often does BYU’s offense use the shotgun formation.

I’m not an X’s and O’s guy, so basically what I’m asking is does Detmer’s offense resemble modern NFL offenses, or more outdated NFL offenses from back when he was playing?
