Short pass or run. Same thing.

Risk is the key factory, what can be executed best is the question. That?s dependent on team strength.
People keep saying that, but it does not equal the same thing. The only similarity is that it involves Will Rogers and the RB (Marks or Dillon).
Other than that, you are talking handing the ball off to the guy 1 foot away from you vs throwing the ball 10-15 yards away. There's obviously more risk to putting the ball in the air. Too many bad things can happen vs handing the ball to a back.

Secondly, the blocking is totally different. A handoff behind the line of scrimmage and 6 lineman is NOT the same as throwing to a back who at most has 2 WR blocking (and most likely whiffing) in front of him and THEN asking him to make the first guy miss. How many times did Marks NOT have the guy miss his first season?

Just because the ball touches the same player's hands does not mean those plays are equal to each other.
