Are you going to tell me that the rushing stats for the jags has nothing to do with their season last year? It sure made it easy for bortles, he had his best season with that running game. Oh, and that D they had made it ok to punt.

Bulk stats used like you are is a weak crutch. I am not even arguing about the rest of your point, though I think you are placing too much emphasis on the running game and trying to make a complex thing simple. Obviously being able to run and stop the run is not unimportant, no one will argue that. This is a passing league and with the changes coming in the helmet contract rules it is going to become even more so one.
