#RunningbacksDontMatter

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

4 out of the top 5 RB contracts this year didn't live up to the contract.

Todd Gurley ($14.375m per year) - 789yds (19th)
Le'Veon Bell ($13.125m per year) - 748yds (24th)
David Johnson ($13m per year) - 345yds (51st)
Devonta Freeman ($8.25m per year) - 598yds (28th)

And throw in Jerick McKinnon (7th highest paid RB) for good measure.

Gurley could be considered debatable given his 12 rushing TDs, which is currently ranked 5th best (ahead of Zeke). Also throw in 2 receiving TDs.

The Seahawks selected Penny over Courtland Sutton, lmaaooooooooooooo

The Browns mattered a whole lot with Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt... at the same time!

Zeke mattered a lot yesterday, too.

so the browns could have sucked without them good point

1st round pick Sony Michel definitely matters

i dont think much will top the bears taking trubisky over mahomes.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Chubb is unfairly pegged here. He's a much better player than his stats reflect this year. His coaches are holding him back.

At least they understood QBsMatter, unlike the Seattle Establish the Runs

Yeah, hasn't worked out so well. Though many high draft picks the Patriots choose don't. He finally showed some "force" Saturday night

 

[Fountain City Blues]

The Seattle Establish the Runs' employee has called our saint, and chief evangelist, Ben Baldwin, a dunning-kruger jackass on twitter for criticizing a Seattle Establish the Runs punt on the opposing side of the field.

This is a deeply hurtful and uncalled for. This most uncouth fellow has now protected his account.

I think it's greatly ironic one of the least progressive franchises in the league is criticized for a progressive playcall "losing the SB."

btw

joe hamilton was ahead of his day. had he been around today, he'd be a starter for someone. he'd fit right into an RPO.

Apparently someone forgot to tell Seattle that runningbacks don’t matter because they went out and re-signed one of the best running backs in their franchise history over getting some scrub off the street when clearly they would’ve provided the same value if we listen to certain people.

Let me ask you do you feel this means a good running back doesn't matter, or do you think that Running backs just have a short shelf life and to some degree are dependent on others like a OL that can run block?

One can claim that running backs don't matter, but you can't claim running the ball doesn't matter. List of ten top running offenses this season:



Looks like it might be a good idea to pound the rock, don't you think? Best team from each conference seem to agree and some real decent teams in the top ten IMO.
