It's the "R" Sure anybody can deploy an RPO offense but it's the "R" that is the most important thing. "Look at me I'm running an RPO"

Oh but that takes an offensive line and talented RBs. Miami is 30 of 32 teams in yards per rush attempt. Baker Mayfield QBs the team with the number one stat on yard per rush attempt. He frankly blows. Look at today.

To be clear, I am not sold on Tua. I didn't want to draft him because of his injury profile. But if you love him or hate him you need to acknowledge that he runs the RPO extremely well. I would LOVE to see how he does behind a solid O line with a real RB behind it. Najee, Chubb, Elliott, Cook, Kamara and so on.
 
RPO belongs in the trash bin, its a gimmick offense that works in college NFL defensive coordinators have already figured it out.

Look at the teams that used in the past and their production drop off this year....KC anyone?

To be fair, not many RPOs on their offense from watching. *May change on review.

RPO doesn't work if you don't have a RB. There was a specific poster here who swore we were all RPO based, but has no concept of what it actually is. Miami has a very low RPO play call because they can't utilize it's benefits. Fortunately they know this and we are bottom 25% on calling it
 
RPO is fine as a "piece" of an offense, but that can't be the base at the NFL level.

Sure, you can break off a decent gain occasionally but it is always, by virtue of the rulebook, going to be a smaller gain expectation from the playcaller.

Many ppl throw around the term without an understanding of the actual Xs & Os concept, or they confuse it with the read option.

Dude, seriously, don’t be clueless, KC is going through a little rough patch, they’ve been on top for a couple of years and every team minus Patriots go through it. And last night against the Raiders??? There goes your theory

I agree with this. I like the offense Pederson ran in Philly. It was a mix of PFO and West Coast. I'd like to see Miami incorporate that. I think Tua would thrive in that style. It will need a strong run game though to work.

I agree. You need a RB the D is scared of. We don't possess that player. Could have had him with Harris but we were too smart for our own good.

A top tier RB helps any offensive scheme, but RPO relies on the QB and recievers making the correct read quickly, and assignment soundness of the O-line moreso than the individual RB (assuming he is competant).
