James Graham does he run the ball enough

Because game theory is a field of mathematics - if you want to invoke it to demonstrate that Graham should do something other than what he's best at, you need to show your workings.

Game theory might just as easily show exactly the opposite of what you suggest - without showing the actual calculations, it doesn't mean anything.

You've not shown this, though. There's no workings. You might as well say that set theory suggests Graham should play on the wing, with zero supporting calculations.

Everybody suspects Graham will run hard and make top yards, and yet nobody seems to be able to do much about it. Hence the situations are not as different as you suggest.

People are well aware of Graham's game, just as they are Cunningham's at close range. I have no doubt they (ineffectively) try to stop him doing it, just as they do Cunningham.

I disagree with this, you do not need calculations to make game theory work. It works fine with using very simple numbers like 0, 1 and 2 or even no numbers at all. All you need are the words "domination" and "mixed strategy" to explain why what is true of Cunningham isn't true of Graham.

Only on this forum, could you discuss hit-ups, scoots etc in the context of game theory.
