I'm not disagreeing with your overall point. Just wanted to point out that it's not very often that a QB gets sacked at a high rate and still has an MVP caliber season like Ryan had. That was truly a special season for he and the Falcons where everything came together in a huge way. I agree a good run game can help, but our track record in that category isn't good over the last 11 years, so I wouldn't count on it.
