The reason why is because Smith and Dillon were good.
Again, you are theorizing that there is a problem when there isn't one. 6 SB and 10 conference title game appearances is the greatest stretch of dominance the NFL has seen. You are nit-picking over running the football a few more times a game when A) there is no proof that it would have changed the outcome of the game and B) you have at QB the greatest who has ever played the position and you want to take the ball out of his hands. That makes zero sense. I'd like Tom to have a RB he can hand the ball off to when the passing game isn't going and catch some balls on 3rd down but that is not the reason they are losing AFCCG and SBs.
What team are you watching? You do know that before injuries hit they were averaging 35 ppg?
Brady sucks in key spots.....? Over their career who hasn't? What other QB would you rather have?
Defense is always important. Look at Denver last year. Look at NE in 2014, and SEA in 2013, Look at BAL in 2012....Why you don't think that is critical to a championship is beyond me.
Antowain Smith was a cast off from Buffalo. He also failed numerous conditioning tests.
The point is, he was the lead back and the best we could have here for 2 SB rings. And they'd use him almost every single week to rush the ball, get a run game going, to open up the playbook for Brady.
Would you still have the opinion you have if 2007 never happened?
