RPO has very little to do with the mobility of a QB. It's referring to reads pre and post snap - that allow a QB to either hand the ball off or make a pass (and sometimes run). Wentz's O at South Dakota State, Baylor's Briles O, Babers - and now the Eagles have pioneered a lot of it. Though to be fair - it's like West Coast O - a lot of teams are borrowing these concepts and are or will be running them all over.

Our offense is predicated on where LB/S/CB lineup. The most obvious is the screen out to our WR when the opposing CB's lineup a certain way. But we also run up the gut when the D spreads out to take the plays outside of the hash out.

Dungey is making all of those reads (alongside the RB, WR). It used to be a negative (he doesn't run a pro-offense) - but now Can Newton, Wentz, etc. run a form of it. In my opinion it's a specific skill that should give ED and TD a leg up; not a hindrance. Side note: Marrone and Nassib ran a bunch of this stuff in 2012, too. Marrone still runs some now.

EDIT: I'm 100% sure I got some of this wrong - coaches and more knowledgeable scheme guys feel free to correct.
