Running Backs

RBs absolute matter this is an absurd take if you think you can just drop back and throw 50 times a game

We've been doing it for 7 years. We throw more than almost anyone in the NFL. And for good reason. Mahomes avg pass is like 8 yards and at 67% completion rate. Why you would ever run on 1st or 2nd and 10 I have no idea. The defense would have to be giving you just an absurd look.

Now where I believe we sometimes go wrong is we don't play aggressive enough or play a sequence for 4 down territory. We run too much on 1st and 10 etc and not enough on say 2nd and 4 or 3rd and 3 with a plan to go for it on 4th if we don't make it. Even on 2nd and 7 you can reel off some runs if you have the stones to go for it on 4th down.
