Percentage of importance of RB, QB, Offensive Line in the Running game?

Question

Assign the percentage of the importance of all 3 aspects of the running game

1) Offensive Line
2) Running Back
3) Quarterback (defensive scheme against good/bad passer)

(example: 33%, 34%, 33%)

Answer 1

1) 40% O-Line
2) 35% RB
3) 25% QB

Answer 2

Offensive Line - 50%
The O-line is the life-blood of any offense it doesn't matter if you have L.T., Jim Brown, or Jesus in the back field. Without the big boys in front doing their job, you're going nowhere

Running Back - 35%
Obviously the running back is important, the best example of this can be seen in the Denver Broncos. This team shows that the O-line is most important in the fact that they have one or two 1,000 yard rushers every season, but when they had Terrell Davis they were breaking off 2,000 yard seasons and winning Superbowls. It takes a truely great running to make a good running game an elite one.

Quarterback - 15%
Most people under estimate the value of the Quarterback in the running game. Basically without the threat of a passing game, there can be no running game. This doesn't mean that you have to have Dan Marino in the backfield airing it out, but you do have to present some kind of arial threat to the defense. If you don't they can load 8 or 9 guys into the box (area between the tackles) and stop any running game. It doesn't matter how good your O-line and RB are if the D can complete focus on the run.

Answer 3

i comprehend alot of specialists will disagree,and a few may even agree yet I say 40% Offensive Line, 25% Quarterback, 35% Wideouts, You ask why? No QB would be effective if he's continuously eating Turf and getting Powered Slamed. The QB can positioned each bypass on the money if the reciever do no longer seize it, it fairly is incomplete. fairly great recievers could make QB's look reliable by potential of catching the ball 2 yds in the back of the line of scrimage and working ninety 8 yds for a TD, now the QB has thrown for ninety 8 yds yet did no longer even throw the ball bypass the line of scrimage. despite the fact that it take all 3 to artwork mutually for the the passing game to be effective, and a powerful working game would be a huge help to the passing game, however the working game like the passing game starts off with the OFFENSIVE LINE!

Answer 4

Offensive Line - 50 %
Running Back - 25 % (can still be a huge difference... see Frank Gore for SF)
QB - 25%... looks like most people don't understand what you meant w/ numbers like 2% and 0%...The QB is an important part, especially for draws and stuff... how do you think the Colts always average 4 to 5 yards a pop regardless of RB? O-Line and the other team has to respect Manning.

BTW... if we are taling about the falcons, those numbers change to
O-line 50%
RB 10%
QB 40%

Answer 5

The RUNNING game only?

You're not going to win much at all unless you have a decent O line. You can win with an average QB and really good RBs, or a super QB (Vince Young, for example) & average RBs. Get all three if you can, and then add in a great passing game for a championship team.

So I'd say, for the running game only:

O-line = 50% (nothing else works without this)

QB + RBs together = 50%; percentage for each can vary based upon talent of the other.

Answer 6

Offensive Line: 80%
Running Back: 15%
Quarterback: 5%
It doesn't matter how good a passer the QB is, without a good OL, he's barely going to have time to take the snap and/or handoff to the RB. Same problem for RB.

Answer 7

O Line: 75% (it doesnt matter how good a back you are, you arent gonna get any yards if you have 6 guys tackling you).

RB: 15% (it's imporant to have a good back for a good running game, but as long as your O line can block everybody and the defensive backs are back, you should be able to get 4 or 5 yards every carry)

QB: 10% (slightly important if they are a really good passer, but teams no how to create coverages that will put pressure on the QB and if they run it).

Answer 8

1) Offensive Line- 60%
2) Running Back- 30%
3)Quarterback- 10%

Answer 9

1) Offensive Line-70%
2) Running Back-25%
3) Quarterback-5%

The O-Line is just about everything in the running game, and the quarterback just has to make sure he doesn't fumble the snap or hand off. Plus, when you get a good running game, you open up the passing game.

Cheers!

Answer 10

1. O-line 40% protecting both parties below

2. RB 25% it has been shown that teams with mediocre RB's can win big

3. QB 35% Captain of the team and only guy who holds the ball on every play. Must be a good decision maker to succeed.

Answer 11

50%, 30%, 5%, thats right without a Line you can't do anything, without a running back, you don't have a running game and that makes your passing obvious. Even with an awesome passer. Look at the Superbowl, you really think Indianpolis could have won without the run.
