Over whether you take a great running back as the Giants did when there are QB's sat there and you have a declining ageing QB at the help.
Jemack mentioned Marino as being a great QB who never won a ring, which of course is true, but almost all the great QB;s win Super Bowls when that isn't even close to being true for RB's.
Since Marino went to the Super Bowl in 84 here is a list of the league rushers by year and how many rings they won.
Obviously some people are repeated, but in 33-years only 3 different players have won Super Bowls.
Simply put, a great back doesn't lift a team with a mediocre QB, but a great QB will lift a mediocre team.
