Momentum is a very small part of what makes a running back effective. In fact "patience" is much more important. A RB who reads his blockers and finds the hole will be much more effective than a guy who just takes the ball and runs full speed straight ahead.
I have admitted that momentum is important in a straight dive into the middle, but we don't run that very often.
Plus you just said that the LBs would be in position to stop him quicker when dalton was under center than when he was in the shotgun.
