My favorite system is what works best with what's available.
You can't teach Mike Vick to pass the ball and run WC. Atlanta's D has improved, but they're not underachieving as much because Mora's giving up on the finer points of QB with Vick and just letting him run . . . full gamble . . . especially when Atlanta gets behind early and they have to pass. Outside of one-dimension, that rushing dimension is phenomenal. When they can run, Atlanta's as worthy as Philly and some of the other generally well-regarded clubs.
Putting Daunte Culpepper in a WC doesn't work, either. That's pretty much what's going on down there, I think. He's never made quick decisions, especially in clutch, and when you have mediocre blockers, plus Daunte, despite the other shiny tools, they have to run more shotgun and get a spread going . . . anything to buy C-Pep just a little more time for the midget brain to find somebody in the air.
Put a Jeff Garcia or Chad Pennington with speed receivers . . . gotta have a gun arm, and those two wouldn't have ever shown any great potential if the guys they had catching weren't more possession-y out there.
The list goes on and on for every position, every style match, offense and defense. Reid's running the right style, obviously, in Philly, but I'm still laughing at the perpetual joke of even considering WC for Detroit. They were running Run and Gun well in the 90s . . . and then Bobby Ross came with the idea of ball control and power rushing, which pretty much sold Barry out the door. Then their next step, with Charlie Batch, no rec-TE, no rec-FB . . . no outs whatsoever . . . plus 1 #2 WR in Morton and a bunch of scrubs at WR . . . West Coast? LOLOLOL, forever, even more than Millen as a perpetual joke.
