Good points. I also get infuriated when I see people say- "RW is a game manager because he doesn't throw it 30+ times." The media has been on this narrative that this is a passing league, and any evidence to the contrary will be ignored.
The fact is yes, passing has gone up, but the best teams over the last few years have been "BALANCED" teams. Balanced teams are the most dangerous. Look @ Seattle, SF, and Carolina-- Solid QB's/ good running games & strong defenses. Those were the 3 best teams in the NFC last year.
Funny also in this article talking about BRady throwing it more AFTER winning 3 SB's. So let's get this straight with a balanced team Bill Billichick is able to win 3 Super Bowls, With a Pass first offense he's won 0. Yep that's what Seattle should strive for. PC makes it painfully obvious leading up to the Super Bowl that a team that is reliant on 1 player, makes winning harder, whereas If you can win in numerous ways you make yourself hard to beat. Hence RW, can have a bad game and the defense and special teams can pull it out.
To me the greatest comparison for Seattle and RW would be the 90's Cowboys with Aikman. Go pull up Aikman's career stats, there are shockingly modest. He had 1 year of 20+ TD's in his career (23), His best passing yards total was 3,445 (RW's 2nd year would rank 2nd in Aikman's career- 3,357), YET Aikman was EXTREMELY efficient. He made plays when they had to too win.
When you compare Dallas to Seattle it's quite amazing the similarities. Both Teams realied on a dominate RB, Both had strong defenses, Dallas had a better OL than Seattle. Seattle had the better secondary. Both QB's are extremely efficient and put their team in a position to win.
