Halfback is the only position that can carry a team entirely by itself. See the Los Angeles Rams from 1982 to 1984 or so."You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known. Your favorite team, in any sport, is the one that just won. If you were a woman, you'd likely be a slut." - Slowwhand, to Imran

Not true... QB can do so as well. See the Miami Dolphins from... Hell, the entire Marino era.Originally posted by Jaguar

how many superbowl rings do they have?

Most of that era they were perenially 8-8 or 9-7. They had the 14-2 season in Marino's monster second year, but they deteriorated from there. For example, in 1988 they went 6-10, even though Marino passed for 4400+ yards. (Not even Peyton Manning passes that mark much these days)
Of course, they'd be lucky to win one game without him."You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known. Your favorite team, in any sport, is the one that just won. If you were a woman, you'd likely be a slut." - Slowwhand, to Imran

Marino had good WRs - the Marks Brothers, Clayton & Duper. And a good pass-blocking OL. But that was it. No 1000-yd rushers, and the D wasn't good enough to win in the playoffs.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui

Did he have good WRs, or were they made better by him being the QB?“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Can't it be both? They still had to catch the ball when he threw it. Of course, they probably didn't want to go back to the huddle if they didn't catch it.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui

[disclaimer: I'm a casual fan at most]
It seems to me that there would be less endzone celebration if the showboating MFers were crushed on the next play by some defender (while the refs looked the other way). I know, not a workable solution, but it has a certain elegance.

I would argue the reason a halfback is better at carrying a team than a quarterback is that the halfback can help out his defense a little more with ball control. Also, if a halfback has a truly exceptional season, his quarterback generally gets a boost. Quarterbacks on heavy rushing teams tend to have good quarterback ratings because they aren't forced to throw on third and long. (Think Roethlisberger as a rookie.) However, as we see from the '88 Dolphins, last year's Cardinals, and others, even an excellent passing attack can't produce a good running attack out of thin air."You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known.

If I'm someone like Chad Johnson, I'm taking my coach and my kicker out for a nice steak dinner with promises of more to come for every celebration that ensues. I normally like the rules changes, but they've really gone too far on this one and it needs to be abused as much as possible to show its utter ridiculousness.

And from the 03 Ravens, an excellent running attack can't produce a good passing attack out of thin air.
