Previously you were just wrong, now you appear to be completely confused as well. Just to be clear, this is the statement I refuted:You sunk my Battleship(NOT)!!! We'll see who's theory holds water this season. Now just be sure not to get too excited IF the running attack is solid this year. Don't cheer for long rushing gains, we want you to be arround and not be having panic attacks. Close your eyes when a screen pass is caught by a running back. Ignore any great blocks by running backs that allow our QB to throw for long gains and TD's. And above all, don,t give any credit to the running backs if they turn out to save us at any critical point in any game. After all, we want you to be happy as well as healthy. Anyway you know that a great passing attack is "good enough" to win with.
Again, just to be clear, you are saying the running game is equally important to the passing game, as well as with every other part of the team (presumably including the entire defense and special teams). The reason I'm going out of my way to state the obvious is in the post quoted above you include a screen pass completed to a RB and a pass block executed by a RB. So here's another newsflash just for you: Those plays are part of the passing game, not the running game.The running game is no less important than any other part of the team! That is my point of view and it will not change.
For your theory to "hold water" this year, the running game will have to be more than solid, it will have to be just as important as the passing game. No matter how you measure their relative importance - by yards gained, yards per attempt, or points scored - that's not going to happen. I've noticed you don't deal with stats or facts to back up your opinion. If you'd like to remedy that, perhaps you could refute the points I made above in post #31?
