It doesn't get you more points, by the way - the Eagles' scoring will be lower than it has been in about five seasons if things continue at the current pace - and it doesn't win you more games. You still have to throw to win in the NFL, and the typical team is throwing more than ever. Consider: McCoy, with the fourth-most carries in the NFL, is on a pace for 301 carries this season while, in 1999, Staley was tied for fourth and had 326 carries.
