I still believe that this is the best formation ever invented for offensive football:

You've got a fullback to run the ball between the tackles, block for the quarterback and be a lead blocker for the half back. You can fake to one running back and give it to the other. The halfback can run outside or inside on draw plays. he can catch passes, short or even long. You can run an option if you like: even a triple option. You've got two wide receivers and a tight end to catch the ball over the middle. The quarterback doesn't have to run the ball. On third down you can pull one of the running backs and put in an extra wide-out or a slot guy and run the play from the shotgun. You can pass all you want form this formation or run all you want. You want balance? Balance your formation.

Why we ever went away from this, I don't know. If we ever went back to it, defenses wouldn't be ready for it.
