Let me clarify and say that I don't want us throwing the ball 650 times next year like the Saints and Lions do. Sanchez has not shown himself to be good enough to operate that kind of offense.

I'd like to see us at 55:45 (pass:run).

If we had a good running game, I'd feel differently. But we haven't had sustained success on the ground since the first half of the 2010 season, before Tomlinson slowed down.

We're not going to score many points this year, but we'll get more points out of a bad passing game than we would out of a bad running game. There is nothing uglier in football than a running offense that can't run the ball.
