It just makes sense going forward doesn’t it? Given the uncertainty we are facing at QB with Brady’s looming decision. If he leaves our options are Stidham who is an unknown, a draft pick who will take time to develop, or a veteran on the market. I happen to favor the latter, where Bridgewater is probably the best QB that will actually be available to us, and he’s a QB that works best with a run oriented team. Regardless of who we sign it’s new QB in a new system so adjustment will be needed. And if Brady returns he’s at the age where decline can be sudden and very rapid, like Peyton Manning in the middle of the season in Denver.
It’s a period of transition for us. And every scenario has a certain degree of uncertainty in the passing game. So why not become a run oriented team? We are currently 60-40 pass to run. Let’s aim for 50-50 or 55-45 run or more. It would provide cushion for whoever is playing QB. And it would help us produce offense on the ground with our current shortage of reliable receivers
We’ll still have Michel obviously. And we can draft a running back in the 1st round. Some of the mocks don’t have any RBs going in round 1, so we should have our pick of guys like Cam Akers, Travis Etienne, Najee Harris, J.K. Dobbins, etc and maybe a chance to get a second one of these guys in round 2 if we wanted. Then sign another guy on the market in 2021, someone like Dalvin Cook or Alvin Kamara, there will be a lot of good RBs available that year. That will give us a deep stable of playmaking backs, which will help the younger ones develop
