Don't forget that BB would seemingly arbitrarily bench SR for games at a time. Maybe he was never quite Bill's cup of tea.
I'm not an Xs and Os guy, but it seems the BB's scheme for running is more reliant on the offensive line than who the RB is. Some of the best running games were with the jumbo package and featured a guy who was just fired (Blount) and a guy who was on the practice squad (Gray).
If what I just wrote has any truth to it (not sure it does), over investment in a superior OL is both imperative for protecting Brady the Elder and success in running, even it means JAGs at the RB position.
IMO.
