However, doesn’t change the fact he’s still overpaid imho. If I can still get reasonably close to his production for a fraction of the cost, then why bother? Need to save my shekels for the QB and dominant D line!

The narrative is it's a pass first league, but the records for teams with 300 yard passers & 100 yard rushers say otherwise. 2

That's cool and all, but I can get 3 RBs for far less money that can do that too. I'd take almost any other team's RB situation over the Cowboys, especially considering the OLine Dallas has. 3 minutes ago, LOVEMESOMEBILLS said: Fans get hooked on the 300 yard passing games, 300 yard passers were only 65-65-2 last year.

Teams only get 100 yard rushers these days when they're running the clock out with a lead. On the flipside, you're more likely to accrue more passing yards when you're playing catch up.

I wonder what the passing yards were for the 100 yard rusher games.

He’s the modern, new age RB, not a step back in time.
dbfla10 Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 With these contracts I feel the Cap is going to have to increase tremendously to keep up. I haven't Seen the actual real money on this contract, but at just 24yrs old this contract makes more sense than paying a 26-27 yr old Gordon.

It seems like you're just trying to throw everything neatly in a box and wrap it up with a bow. It's odd that it's the same QBs over & over though. Mahomes -10, Goff - 8, Luck - 8, Big Ben - 8, Ryan - 8, Brady - 7, Brees - 7. On the flip side, Zeke - 8, Gurley - 7, Barkley - 7, Michel - 6, Carson - 6. To say teams only get 100 yard rushers these days when running out the clock is short sighted. The top 10 teams in rushing totals nowadays are still pretty much even to the early 2000s(That's as far back as I could go at the moment). 1

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 he got his money. I guess you can throw out the old cliche' that rb's are a dime a dozen...

If you have no QB, a great RB is necessary. I feel those two realities are on a sliding scale that goes up and down depending on the competency of your QB. Even a game manager such as Dak or Dalton may need more oomph at RB to be successful, while Rodgers or Brady would be fine with a stable of okay RBs. Thanks you Cincy for Passing the ball to gt us in the playoffs. Never pay a RB, I repeat NEVER pay a RB

Elite RBs have been part of a many of Super Bowl teams. Chicken or egg? I think more is more. If Singletary turns into a dominant back, sign him. The better the QB, the less dire the need of a superstar RB, but also the less dire the need of a superstar #1 WR or an all star OL or a Legion of Boom defense. You build a team with what ya got. A superstar QB mitigates just about every weak positional group on the entire team, but football is still a team sport, except each team may be structured differently depending on what resources are available in FA and how many hits ya get in the draft.
