Instead each draft class of RB's seems to be a field of players like Etienne who don't have the size or length to project to a more premium position. Today's starting RB's are the athletes that would have been the backup RB's 20 years ago. Meh... this can go on forever. Neither of us are going to change the others opinion. Ill just end with this, the Chiefs took Clyde Edwards at 32 last year and I can guarantee no one in the Chiefs fandom or organization is second guessing that pick. You don’t want to draft a RB at 30, I wouldn’t mind it. Case closed. 1

OrediggerPoke Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 Bills should really think about working a deal to bring in Brian Hill from the Falcons. He is a perfect fit - a bruiser that has improved immensely in catching passes out of the backfield.

This kid is the real deal. And those SF highlights are sick. On 3/25/2021 at 4:51 PM, Cray51 said: Love this as a low risk medium reward signing. Breida's speed can play well in either our screen game or our outside run game. We have one of the best pull centers in the league, let's use him with Breida to allow him to get to the outside and turn upfield A pull center isn't worth a crap unless the rest of the line is pulling too. Our guards are strong but can't pull anything but a muscle.

Let's hope we use him more in Buffalo. Miami had a 2 QB system, I wouldn't I wouldn't judge anyone from that offense harshly

Michael Vick would have been a legendary RB.

Michael Vick would have been a legendary RB. Yep. Back in the 90's I used to say that the 3rd best athlete on most NFL teams was the 3rd string RB(who basically never played back then). Evolving into a pass-centric league has actually put the best athletes on the field. What the league needs to do though is figure out a bonus system or different pay scale for players who run the football.........those dudes take too much of the abuse for too little pay. As I pointed out Travis Etienne touched the ball over 800 times in 4 years in college...........Steve Largent and Shannon Sharp caught 819 passes each in 14 year NFL careers........the beating RB's take relative to other skill positions is substantial.
