I don't disagree with the premise: I agree you have to be "decent" across the board to win it all. But even in Cowher's days, we saw what a great running game and defense usually got you: a lot of season wins. And that was before they made the game so pass-heavy tilted. Bill didn't win it all until he had a franchise QB - came close, but couldn't win a ring.Let me reverse the question. How many teams without at least an adequate running game have won the Super Bowl? It doesn't have to be an either or. Why not be competent in both?
It's kinda like do you have to choose between Lynard Skynard or the Allman Brothers? They are both great and you can like both. I saw a survey a number of years ago in which people had to choose, and I thought it was stupid.
