I assume you saw the throws that Wentz made?
I know the Cheatriots have won a lot of NFL championships with anything but ground and pound. Looking at all the Super Bowl winners since 2004, you see QBs like Russell Wilson,Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, the Manning Bros.and Drew Brees. Only the Baltimore Ravens with Joe Flacco seem to break the mold as they definitely had a great D and a game manager at QB.
The Dallas Cowboys went 3-1 in the games that Romo started this year. 1-11 in games he didn't start. O-line and Defense was not dramatically different in those games.
No one would say that O-lines, and Defense aren't important parts of a championship formula, but ground and pound is not the only way to win. We have had 2 national championships here in Grizville and certainly the first one was definitely on the back of Dave Dickenson, not our ground and pound game. One of the NCs we lost to Marshall was due to the unstoppable talents of Randy Moss, not their unstoppable running game.
NDSU is solid in all parts of the game, but to discount the value of having Brock Jensen and now Carson Wentz as their starting QBs during their run of Championships is just wrong.
I believe that we were on our way to more NCs with Pflugrad as coach and we will be back there with Stitt. This should be an exciting and fun team to watch to see if that is true. Getting Reese Phillips to add depth to our QB position will make a big difference next year.
