Everyone who wins in the Shootout System...

[Reginald Rutledge]

is not a great passer!

I will not lie. It is important to be able to hit at a 60-70% clip to win titles in the Shootout system because you are forced into difficult pass situations where if players are engaged, you've got to make that throw. Or if the WR is in double coverage and its a crucial time in the game, you've got to have the ability to make that pass. What you find is many people will not attempt to take that type of risk but rather defer to run the ball.

Running the ball is an effective strategy in the Shootout system because it allows you to control the clock, slow the game down, and put pressure on the other team. When you're playing a high scoring team, the strategy would be to not turn things into a track meet but instead, a slugfest.

The great coaches like a Jim Davis can run the ball without much problems, and it has show to be true against most opponents in the DFW. While Jim does have at his disposal, "The Andre Rule", JEasymoney uses it sparingly because up to this point, no one has been able to stop. His strategy is sound and he can make passes when need be.

So if you ever think this is just a pass-happy system. it is as far from the truth.
