I tend to agree with Garvin here. I think the wildcat formation (or Sequoia, as the more enlightened called it) was equally maligned. Gaffney averaged seven to ten yards from that formation. Any play that is that successful should obviously be kept in the playbook, but fans and analysts alike were critical because it took the ball out of Andrew Luck's hands.

I seem to remember the wildcat was quite productive early in the season but much less so once opposing teams had some film on it. Maybe it's just my memory being selective but if that's the reality, averages may not be a good argument in favor of the wildcat.
