If you think teams like Washington, Minn, Sea, SF, Hou and Balt are built to get into passing wars then you have not been watching them. They need their running game it matter to them.
So you can take you stats and play with them all day long but it does not change the fact games are played on a football field not some piece of paper.
Hell last week Redskins did not even throw the ball very much put up 100 yards of passing it was the running attack that killed us it is the same running attack Shanhan used in Denver to win 2 SB convince him that his running game does not help him win games. Of course passing game matters a lot, hell they changed the rules to make it easier while no rules have been changed to help the RB yet teams will still lean on a rushing attack. Ponder sure as hell is not going to win many games by getting into passing wars but you put Peterson behind him now he has a chance to win.
