Not sure of the logic here.
The offensive design is not the responsibility of the QB thought they may have input. The game plan isn't done by the QB. Blocking and blocking schemes are not the QB. Quality of OLine and RB is not the QB. Play calling is not the QB.
I don't think looking at Stafford for a failed running game makes any sense. On the Lions the organization was run by idiots for the longest time. Here Akers was hurt in the first season and in the 2nd season the the offensive line got blown up with injuries. And while I think Akers is okay he certainly shouldn't be confused with the upper echelon of RB's that are in the league.
