What is the yard per carry and catch?

Did you see Colt trying to throw into 25 mph wind in December? Not saying you are not right, the Giants had the least YPG average in the league, but there are other factors here.

exactly my point... 1 or 2 running backs per team getting nearly 400 TDs vs 3 WR and and TE getting only 745 also...of those 745 passing TDs how many were scored by running backs?

I am not saying this is a running league i'm saying that a running back is more VALUABLE then a WRs

Been on here for two months now trying to explain we aren't New Orleans- we aren't Indy when they had Peyton.

We are in a division where you win ugly you play in the elements and you may have 3 or 4 games where passing the ball downfield is a severe challenge. When we are in games we've tried to establish the run we tried to run the clock with Hardesty or Hillis.

We know the numbers. Teams pass more- defensive backs are called for PI and contact penalties

We know what others are doing, but until Drew Brees walks in the door. Why close the door on a great back?

Cam Newton even proves it's easier to run then pass for a mediocre QB

21TD 17INT passing on 517 attempts it only took him 126 attempts to score 14 rushing TDs 2 Fumbles.

Alex Smith 445 attempts and only 17 TDs and considers himeself elite (LOL)

...If Adrian Peterson attempted 445 rushing attempts he would have scored 25+ TDs(and probably died)

while coaches are gearing up for a passing game now is the time to shove it down their throats!!!!!

give the BAMF the BALL!!!

Without an elite QB, having an elite or top tier WR doesn't help the team as much as having an elite RB, who will have more effect on the game than a elite WR paired with a mediocre QB. The WR position is deep this draft while RB is not, get Trent and then go after some WR with 22.

did you just compare QB rushing totals to RB rushing totals?

i often wonder if fans will ever learn to separate emotional attachment from logical arguments.

this is exactly how one sets oneself up for disappointment.

just saying elite QBs with Elite WRs don't need to run

Mediocre QBs like Flaco, Smith, Newton, etc...need to run or have a running game

200 of newtons attempts went for ZERO yards

even a so so running back like foster gets you 1000+ yards a game and has the ability to get you 100 rec yards a few games a year (pick up a great RB and you actually get two players for one)

Your Newton example makes the case for drafting Tannehill.

Your "and probably died" was funny.

There once may gave been a case to be made for a contrarian approach. The first comment on the passing game I remember hearing was "When you put the ball in the air, three things can happen and two of them are bad." But that was over 40 years ago. (Might have been Woody that said it... can't remember.)

However, starting with the liberalized blocking rules in the late 70's and later the restrictive rules on DB's contacting WR's, that pendulum just keeps on swinging toward pass pass pass... The closest the league has come to going the other way was a few years ago when they decided that the OT's really should be on the line of scrimmage all of the time.

As much as I'd like it to do so, it's hard to envision the pendulum swinging back... ever.

so, we should spend a high pick on a position that even a "so-so" player like foster can get you 1k yards? foster was undrafted. i think, as tour pointed out, you're actually making a case to not draft RB in the first round.
