[Husker] TO respect, NFL etc

The statements of BC regarding TO per Ostergard (the new book) suggest lack
of respect for TO. Apart from the soap opera aspect and maturity question
this raises, I suspect this has to do with NFL versus College approaches. I
am curious how the great football minds on this list might react to the
following: 
It seems to me that the NU style of the 1994-5 teams might work in the NFL
if quarterbacks were not so highly paid and protected in the NFL. The old NU
offense had QBs who would throw a block and run into tacklers rather than
slide. I liked that. Maybe the rules are now so skewed you have to have drop
back passers in the NFL but I wonder of the tough QB paradigm could not work
there if the economics were different. Vince Young has made a pretty good
impact as a young QB who runs with the ball. What do the experts out there
think?
