Same offensive format or should we switch?

Hope people realize if we go to the Bill Walsh WCO system it could take a few years to get it implemented right. Our players could struggle learning it at first. It's hard to say what Mike Johnson and Jimmy Raye where using. I know Raye uses a version of the Air Coryell WCO but not sure what plays the team actually learned. We definitely learned a lot of running plays but the Air Coryell airs it out (kind of like SD) where Bill Walsh's WCO is more short passes that constitute for the run game.

Plus, not a whole lot of WCO offense QBs in the draft. Not sure if Washington still runs it, Standford does a version of it.... not too many QBs know it though. Most of them run option or spread. Also, don't think Palmer or Orton know the WCO. McNabb and Kolb do but both are shady. McNabb is on the downside of his career and Kolb is careless with the ball. Even if McNabb would play well for us he will be 35 before the season is over so he probably isn't a solution for more than a few years.

We need to go acquire an offense so we have something to switch from!!!

Switch for sure! No more power back crap that the Niners have run for the past 5 years.

Bill Walsh offense for sure!

What exactly is Harbaugh's Hybrid? I know he runs the pro offense. But is he top heavy on pass plays. West coast type offense or launch's it deep?

The one that:

Uses the talent actually available, all of it. No talent sitting and "learning".

Is innovative and hard for other teams to prepare for.

Is fun to watch and actually works in the real world.

Causes cheers, not jeers and boos, from the home fans, and silence on the road.

Results in intelligent and interesting press conferences that don't involve glaring at reporters and where the coach knows what happened without watching film on that 1964 TV set.

Lastly, the nutcracker hill should be fenced off and preserved as a reminder that in our recent history a coach actually thought this was a good idea.

Harbaugh's WCO depends a little more on running the ball than a traditional WCO.

I'd say it leans more towards the Shanahan version.

Heavy run game.

We return to what we know. We return to what we want. We return to what made us great.

However style it is run we don't care as long as we return to the WCO. Then we wear the red & gold with a bit more pride.

Spot on I agree.

I want to be able to run the ball even when the defense knows we are gonna run the ball.
