Honestly, all the 1st round caliber QB's this year don't necessarily scream "Franchise QB" to me. Kinda like the 2011 draft when you had Newton, Gabbert, Locker, Ponder all go in the 1st. Newton has shown flashes, but the other three, two of them flat out stink and the other one, Locker, is meh so far.
As for the "spread", it is more about having multiple WR's/TE's to throw to, spreading the defense, creating a mismatch somewhere to get a guy open for a 7 yard gain or so.
