It's retarded to use your franchise QB as a running back, period. Another enchilada to use a guy like Kaepernick or Wilson who cost you very little.
So, 3 teams running it and all 3 get to the playoffs, 1 winning a division title, 1 making it to the SB, that's not good enough. It only counts if they win the SB. Got it. That seems like a perfectly rationale requirement.
