We're obviously on different pages here. You're looking at the end result which is we make it or we don't, I'm looking at the things that could thrwart a play from being successful. A pass can be dropped, a throw can be errant, the timing could be off, the ball can be tipped, Bulger could be sacked or the ball could be intercepted as you mentioned. A run play can be stuffed. I'll take the run option for one yard every time, but that's just me.

Once again, I would call a run up the middle.
