Someone should start a thread about all the positives of an "air raid" offense.

There are so many it just seems like a no brainer, but to me the biggest thing is recruiting.

With a passing, high tempo offense you will definitely get better looks from top QB's, WR's and TE's ... why wouldn't these players want to go to play for a school committed to the pass? I also believe you get better OL recruits. Most good lineman would rather pass block all day. It takes more skill, athleticism and IQ to be a good pass blocker. Run blocking all day can be exhausting and a little boring.

The only drawback is RB. And I think its minor, especially considering the gains at every other offensive position. You just go after RB's that want to catch as well as run. I also think it's easier to find talented under the radar RB's ... see Erv, Fredricks, etc.

Play to the numbers, most of your offensive recruits want to play in a pass oriented offense! Make them happy!
