The journey of Chris Ivory: Dismissed, discarded and, finally, celebrated

2 Years out of 9. Two exceptional years in between some really bad and average years.

So, it's a coincidence that years we have HOF team with one of the most lethal passing attack in the history of the NFL. where defenses spent more time worried about having 9 players in coverage vs. Have 9 in the box. We never was a run first offense. Not in 2009 or 2011. We just had two good years.

If you want to be better than mediocre. Then, you have to be consistently good. Not just two years where we field two of the greatest passing offenses of all time.

Huh? So by your "better logic," even though the saints had the 6th best rushing attack in '09 and '11, we will ALWAYS have a mediocre running game because we haven't done it consistently enough - for you? Pardon me, but wth does 2012 have to do with 2009. Or 2014 with 2011? No one get's a trophy for being the best team over a 10 year period. It's one season at a time.

We had an excellent running game in at least 2 seasons under Payton. So, your original premise that I proposed was absolute nonsense... what was it? - oh yeah:

We'll always post mediocre rushing stats.

.. you've already conceded and qualified.

And from someone who actually took the time to analyze "the system," and in response to your earlier point:
