When you remove the scrambles or runs from Rodgers.. the difference between the running games is more distinct.
Now.. I am not attempting to say those yards don't count overall.. but to look solely at the running game, running play effectiveness, I removed them to try and isolate true run calls.
Simply.. when we try to run it.. we fall below average.. and the overall run totals per game gloss over that because of the yards Rodgers picks up with his legs when passing plays break down.
The 49ers are screwed because they took Smith #1 overall.. have invested a ton of cap space and coin upon him and he has never panned out. That single draft move with the heavy burden upon the teams for those top draft slots put this team into a tailspin that they haven't pulled out of yet. Smith is simply erratic and inconsistent.. he makes Cutler look like a pillar of consistency. lol.
