Same is true with QBs, then. We replaced a franchise QB with a cheap backup and got better. Chiefs replaced a franchise QB with a rookie, Eagles won the SB with a backup. And, on and on. QBs are more expensive. We should let Tanny walk and just role with a rookie or cheap backup.It is not a tired old position on running backs. It is not something we just heard in ESPN. It is a widely held belief throughout the NFL and by analytics. That opinion is everywhere and dominant in the league. It also has been born out by more examples then it has not been over the last decade—by a wide margin.
Then why are the top 6 paid RBs in the NFL all on teams that didnt make the playoffs?Its a lousy take tho, RBs drive all good offenses...
Except 5 of the top 7 paid QBs are in the playoffs. The other 2 are big ben who is hurt and matt ryan who was in the super bowl 2 years ago.Same is true with QBs, then.

QBs matter far more for team success and it makes far more sense to invest at that position.
Not cause of their own efforts thats for sureThen why are the top 6 paid RBs in the NFL all on teams that didnt make the playoffs?
You really about to walk down "why do the Cowboys suck" road?

Wasn't Gurley in the Superbowl last year?
I just dont understand how you can say RBs drive the best offenses in the league when that information exists. The highest paid RBs are not on good teams.Not cause of their own efforts thats for sure
You really about to walk down "why do the Cowboys suck" road?
Sure, but he was a non factor bc he was hurt the last part of last season and they didnt make the playoffs this year after not being able to re-sign some key pieces.Wasn't Gurley in the Superbowl last year?
forget about money, the best run teams make the POsI just dont understand how you can say RBs drive the best offenses in the league when that information exists. The highest paid RBs are not on good teams.
fun fact
of the playoff teams, the niners and Pats are spending more at RB than any teams

The highest paid RB that is actually playing in the playoffs is Duke Johnson at 5.2M and hes 10th in the league.forget about money, the best run teams make the POs
It matters what they are paid bc production tends to drop after a payday. Which is why the best run teams use committees and dont pay anyone over 4M.
Not any 1 RB though. Also McKinnon is the 7th highest paid RB and hasnt played all yearfun fact

This guy wants us to go get 2 average RBs to carry the team so that the Titans can roll $10M into 2021 to pay our 2 FA's set to hit the marketDo you watch our games? We are a running team first
I get what he wants...I just think keeping BDH and a couple of Key FA’s can both be accomplishedThis guy wants us to go get 2 average RBs to carry the team so that the Titans can roll $10M into 2021 to pay our 2 FA's set to hit the market
easilyI get what he wants...I just think keeping BDH and a couple of Key FA’s can both be accomplished
no one has to chose sides, we can pay everyone by prorating salaries
Next RB after BDH that’s gonna cash in huge is Kamara after next season...
him and CMC hit FA same time, gonna be interesting who signs first, cause the day after look for the market to be reset yet againNext RB after BDH that’s gonna cash in huge is Kamara after next season...
