I would add that I think spread offenses are at a disadvantage against fundamentally sound defenses.  Think Oregon when they struggled against us or had trouble against Auburn in the national championship.  So spread works well against 90% of college defenses but can be shut down by most NFL defenses.

I suspect some of the concepts will find success in the NFL, but it will be tough to make a base spread option offense successful.

Of course, what happens when college football stops producing QB's capable of running a pro offense?
