If a quarterback takes a shotgun snap and gives the ball off around 4 yards deep what's the difference in the qb being under center and having to take the time to turn and then hand it off at 3 and a half?
Also, if you are in the gun all the time why risk a bad snap under center at the most important part of the field?

If he's under center he's handing the ball off at the line of scrimmage instead of handing the ball off to a back standing flat footed 4 to 5 yards deep in the backfield.If Your under center and you back gets hit when the ball is handed off to him he might fall forward for a yard.But in the shotgun you just lose for Yard.
