Jason Kelsey made some interesting comments about the difference between Shanahan offense and the West Coast offenses.

Let's take a listen to what Kelsey had to say, Ocho.

I do think there's a reason, while there has been a lot of great

offensive coaches that have come from the Shanahan tree and the McVeigh Trees,

not a lot of those has transitioned to the Super Bowls.

And I think that if you look at

largely the teams that have won Super Bowls over the last decade, most of them have been

West Coast offenses that are pretty much grounded on a lot of the Bill Walsh and Andy Reed

like lineages or pro-style offenses. And I think part of that is like the scheme can be great, but it's going to be really hard to win a Super Bowl with the coach out scheming.

At the end of the day, most of the Super Bowls are won with quarterbacks and players on the field.

Teams that operate on a dropback pass more tend to win Super Bowls more because drop back pass is more important in close games in that end-of-game situations.

And that's why I think the West Coast offense, while it's not as, you know,

as ridiculously interesting as some of the Shanahan principles and things,

I think it probably translates when you have great players into more success at the end of the day.

Hey, Unk, I like that a little bit.

I like what he's saying.

Obviously, Shanahan's system and the West Coast system,

I think it all comes down to obviously having a combination of both,

having a combination of great players with the great quarterback.

Because if you have a great quarterback,

regardless of the offense that you are running,

whether it's like, whether it's Shanahan like or if it's West Coast system, being able to manipulate that offense and knowing exactly what you're doing and having the right supporting cast, hell, anything is possible.
