Flip side of that is if he were Joe Burrow they would've thrown the ball more. Im good with taking another bite at the "national championship winning game manager" apple.
It's not like Michigan had a cant miss Top 5 pick RB they had to feed the ball to

Looks like McCarthy's agent is doing his job well.....
Blake Corum is a fantastic college RB behind a great oline. If that's the strength of your team, there's no point just airing it out. He wasn't throwing to the receivers Burrow/Mac had in college.

Local sports talk scuttlebutt last week suggested the 11th, MIN 2025 1st & Justin Jefferson for the 3rd overall. Seems too hefty to me.
If Pats aren’t sold on the the QB’s and decide to go Justin Fields wouldn’t the smart play be snag MHJ? I don’t know much about Bowers but I think the WR is the more pressing need. Jefferson is great but $$$$$
IF (and that's a big IF) that offer is legit, you have to give it some consideration. You're only getting Jefferson for 1yr though, but if you think you can sign him to a long-term deal, I'd probably do it.

I would do that so fast as a pats fan, Jefferson is a guy you happily pay big money to

Van Pelt: “You know, I think running the football in this league wins games, wins championships. Being able to do that late into the season.”
Nope. Not at all. It's 2024, how are guys still saying this?

I want to re-watch Playmakers on ESPN from the early 2000s. Has the NFL removed all references to it? It was soooo good
People are reading too much into the Van Pelt quote but being able to run the ball is important and i think it does get more important later into the season when you're a team like the Patriots who are more likely to play in winter conditions the deeper into the season they get.
I'm not worried about Van Pelt trying to run an old school run heavy offense though. Joe Flacco was throwing the ball on average 40 times per game when he got to the Browns this season and i expect the Patriots offense will be similar to Kevin Stefanski's.

Running the football does not win games. Throwing does. And it's not even close. I'm not reading anything into what he said besides exactly what he said.
Big part of Stefanski’s offense is play action iirc
There’s no problem with leaning on the run, they just need to be able to throw the ball effectively when the time comes for that. It’s largely what they did in their final SB run. Its also something they haven’t been able to do for years now

They better draft a RB then because Mondre looked awful for half the season. And surprisingly Zeke looked better.
We got no RB depth really. Look into the later rounds. You'll find someone.

Stevenson looked bad when he was battling his ankle issues at the beginning of the year but he had worked his way back to normal by the time he was injured once again. They definitely need to add another 2 RB on top of him though. Free agency for 1, draft the other. Not against bringing Elliott back for another year. He did very good work in the passing game last season.

Pacheco helped turn KC around, the running game definitely helps win games, it sets up play action or the option. It keeps linebackers in the box to open up TE and slot WRs.
Look at what happened to Baltimore when they went away from what brought them success (running game) and they tried throwing it to beat Mahomes ...
I don't think Van Pelt is suggesting bringing back the Wing T or the veer offense and run the ball 40 times a game, he's talking about complimentary football.

That's not what he said. And what he said is wrong.
KC was 20th and 19th overall in rushing the past two seasons. Rams 25th in 2021. Tampa 28th in 2020.
So no, it does not.
He flat out said running wins games and wins championships...he didn't say you need to run to compliment the pass. If running wins titles, you would see everyone trying to get the best players at that position.

It's a well-debunked myth you need to establish the run to set up play-action. You can be a shitty running team and still use PA effectively.
The reigning coach of the year, the guy who just fired Van Pelt, has talked about this very thing.

Hmm maybe Harbaugh will trade Herbert to move up to three so he can take the next Burrow, his man JJ.....Not. lol
Hers a Draft simulator that pretty much has no rime or reason on some of the spots where players land, at least when Ive done it, but kind of fun anyways.

If Drake Maye is there at 3 that's a minor miracle. Do not move from 3 if you can take Maye.
