I disagree Citizen ...
To me, the shotgun or spread always tips off a pass and even if the QB hands off, it still looks awkward, unless the QB swings it off but ball handling is a lost art as well and going back from center, some QBs like Griese, Unitas, Fouts were excellent faking drop backs and going with draw plays. The Cowboys with Aikman and Norv Turner and before that Fouts with Zampese, were masters at running a lead draw play. Emmitt Smith and other backs would rack up yardage just from that one play ... Just dont see that kind of thing anymore with so much shotgun ...
