Great post.
It's hard for a lot of fans and media members to understand that great players are the only method of producing continued success. Obviously the Denver running system has been successful for awhile, but only among the leagues' best when a guy like Portis or Mike Anderson or Terrell Davis had the football. Mike Shanahan obviously has a knack for noticing RB talent, and the Denver O line has been underrated for years, but that doesn't mean the cut block system is any "better" than anyother zone or man blocking system. It's just different. Players make it successful.
