Paul Brown and Bill Walsh adjusted the offense to fit Virgil Carter's strengths.  Virgil wasn't a flame throwing long bomb artist like Greg Cook, so Paul Brown devised what we now call "dink and dunk" routes where Virgil's short range pinpoint accuracy could be leveraged.  Wide receivers like Chip Myers and tight end Bob Trumpy feasted in that offense which featured crossing routes, shallow slants, and medium seam routes.  

Didn't that team go to the playoffs in 1970 and 1973?  

Yes.  They did.
