I don't remember anyone complaining that the offense was "dull as dishwater" when we ran Toby on every play.

That's because with the personnel we had in Gerhart's last couple of year, running Toby FRICKING WORKED!  So it was NOT dull as dishwater because we moved the chains and, get this, actually scored touchdowns [what a concept!!]!  I would not mind at all seeing Sanders/Wright/whoever run on 8 out of 10 plays if was FRICKING WORKING, but its not.  And it hasn't for a long time.  When that does not work, as is the case with our current personnel, then it becomes dull as dishwater.  Or worse.

I'm not sure we're in disagreement on the effectiveness. Those who say the offense is boring are really saying "we're losing and I don't like it." It doesn't have to be exciting. It just has to work.
