It's that for this season, well-paid bell cow RBs were negligibly important factors for the best teams. And even AP comes with a caveat given the weakness of the Minnesota offense overall. They had two capable ones. Both got injured. And my point is not that throwing money and high draft picks at running backs is a great idea. It is that every situation has to be judged on its own merits and when you were in the position Buffalo was in last February where it had no idea whatsoever whether it even had a QB who was viable 32nd best in the league type starter and no idea whether Fred had anything left or whether it could get CJ back and an established top 5 running back with proven production becomes available I think their decision was perfectly understandable. EDIT: and I just use Buffalo as an example. Could equally have used the contracts the Seahawks have given Lynch etc. Edited February 12, 2016 by GunnerBill
