Ironically, most pro fans are learning all about the intricacies of the Pistol offense due to the great success of fast quarterbacks such as Colin Kaepernick and RG3... but the architect of the system, coach Chris Ault of Nevada, says that the greatest benefits might be to heady QBs that lack foot speed.
I only just now realized that Ault invented the Pistol...

...which means that Kaepernick learned it from the guy who pioneered it?! Wow.

So does this mean we'll see the pistol used even more next year? I'm guessing YES.
