He is just one example of more than a few offenses which rely on the production of a good RB. It matters not what they cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjustments were made to cover the biggest hole (bum RT) which had them flirting with average overall. Solid they were not, let alone good or championship caliber. There's that ray of sunshine. 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolina had a record of 1-5 and averaged 17.2 points per game with McCaffrey and 6-5 and 22.2 ppg after they traded him and went to a committee of cheap RBs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You by-passed the statement you made that the RB position has been devalued in the NFL. I have made two exception examples, and the only response is money. If the bottom-line/final answer is "it's OK to have a committee of cheap RB's and still have a potent rushing attack", then cool. But don't say that running the ball effectively is now devalued in the NFL. It is not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I CLEARLY said with the 49ers. Unless you have some magical Stats that only you have access to. You don't have an uncle named Rudi, do you??

But don't say that running the ball effectively is now devalued in the NFL. It is not. Yes, the position and the players at that position have been devalued. Teams don't run the ball on 60% of the plays or even 50% anymore. Teams don't need to pay up for a RB to get good production. Do you think Zeke Elliott is earning his current salary? Or was the Cowboys best RB last year Tony Pollard? The Bengals can easily replace Mixon's production with cheaper alternatives and should spend the money elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
