Bingo. For all the hype around Flacco or Ryan, people fail to mention that they both have top 5 running games (Atlanta is #2, Baltimore is #4).
But I agree that QB is probably the top priority right now going into the draft and I'm not opposed to using a top 3 pick. But if we don't surround him with a top 5 running game, we likely won't get a Flacco/Ryan like performance from our QB.
