If this shift to get away from throwing the ball 50 times a game reduces turnovers and improves the offense producing more wins, he can run the ball as much as he wants.

I do agree that it will produce more wins, but I don't think it will get us close to being legitimate super bowl contenders as I've said. I think we're going to toil in 7 to 9 win territory for a while.

But as I've also said, it's understandable if purgatory doesn't sound that bad when you're used to the hell we've been in the past half decade.

You can't honestly believe he's going to run the ball 90% of the time or more.  Neither he nor his OC are stuck in the leather helmet era of football.  I think that when the dust settles, we're going to see real balance offensively, which limits the potential for mistakes by Blake while still allowing the offense to stretch the field using play action.  His attempts may go down, but the production could easily go up in the passing game.  In the end, it all falls on Blake to take that next step.
