move beyond the notion that running the football leads to championships

from Cam Cameron

“Football has changed for the better,” he said. “Just look at last year’s Super Bowl. People have got to move beyond the notion that running the football leads to the championships. It doesn’t. If you just look over the last 10 years, it doesn’t.

“We all want to run the football, but you don’t have to run the football to win as much as people think. The rules have changed, the game has changed.”

Who is Cam Cameron? You can run the ball when you have a lead. It's equated to winning championships because you'll typically have less big defensive plays when you run. Shorten the game, force turnovers. That will never go away.

Cam Cameron is only the best offensive coordinator in the league.

Yeah because, like these last few games, when we throw the ball we do super good!

Having an incompetant QB at the helm does that to your team.

actually i think hes saying you cant be 1 dimensional anymore. if your have a really strong running game but no passing game at all you'll get killed.

wrong. running the football is still critical. that doesn't mean the majority of your plays have to be running plays, but if you aren't at least capable of grinding it out on the ground, your offense becomes one dimensional and therefore easy to stop.

    • Totally.  I'm less comparing them as players and using him as a reference point.  I legitimately think Bryce is capable of being a better NFL QB than Kyler has been.  Kyler has no clutch gene and doesn't seem to have a grip on the locker room, or much love for the game.  Much different body types/strengths and weaknesses.   Crazy to think-- but Kyler is at year 7 as a 1.01...38-48-1 on his career, 0-1 in the playoffs. He's somehow played well enough to keep it going but crazy to think he's barely even touched the playoffs.  Hasn't done anything that special for the Cards.  That's what you don't want to be stuck in.  Cardinals are in softball purgatory with him.    
    • It's not analysis. There was no attempt to analyze anything or even convey new information at all.
    • As to the topic, I've complained before about "superstar" mentality, i.e. the notion that you can win championships with one superstar player surrounded by a group of mediocre fill ins. It just doesn't work. The Manning-Brady rivalry was something of a showcase for that. The Colts general approach focused everything on Manning. The Patriots? Oh, they also had a superstar quarterback but they built a complete team, especially on the defensive side. This sort of thing is why I've argued many times that "system quarterback" should be to considered a description, not an insult. I know everybody loves the "MVP" athletic types, and they're fun to watch, but that's not necessarily the true path to consistent winning and championship glory.
