Haven't seen the show...but I am assuming this is supposed to be active players? How many great running backs have been on a Super Bowl winning team, in the last 10 years or so? Haven't thought about it with any research, but I would bet it is not many. So that list doesn't look all that off to me. It's a passing game, baby!

That's kinda the point. Adrian Peterson will be added to the list and it'll still be a true statement.

 

Makes one wonder why spend a first round pick on a "feature back". I've been somewhat disinclined to buy into the whole "running backs are a dime a dozen" thing but even back in history some of the best never made a Super Bowl. OJ, Earl Campbell to name a couple. Denver was always able to effectively plug in someone new because they had a real good OLine.

"Niners ran the ball 28 times on third downs with five or more yards to go; the only teams who did so more frequently had injured quarterbacks (Houston, Kansas City) or sainted ones (Denver)"

 

:lol:

And the QB to complete the most passes on 3rd down with five or less yards to go and not get a first down was Trent Edwards.
