Ah the back shoulder fade, statistically the least efficient play at the goal line you can run.
The threat of a back shoulder fade (or any other play) should, at least theoretically, improve the success of the overall play.
I think that's why looking at success rates for a single play in a vacuum is misleading / not particularly valuable data.
Put another way, quickly running up the middle with a RB might be the single most effective goal-line play from the 2. And getting the ball straight to the RB and adding an extra blocker should theoretically make it more effective. But not necessarily if it gives away what play you are going to run.
