I always thought Football 101 was play to your strengths. If you have a top tier QB and above average pass protection, you throw more. If your running game is stronger and your pass protection is below average, you run more.

I'm a lazy man by nature so I won't bother looking up the numbers; however I would venture to guess the Colts and Patriots run the ball way more than pass in the 4th when they're ahead by 2 or 3 TD's...just like 90% of the rest of the league would do if they happen to find themselves frequently in such a situation.

Where was I! Oh yeah, teams with weak/inexperienced QB's should run more in order to set up the pass.
