The Devaluation of the NFL running Back

[Detroit]

Lmaoooooooooo

But just about all running backs seem to be at the same level except for like a Peterson. It's easier to just rotate and plug them around then pay big money for one especially since there success depends on the offensive line.

Really?
Forte, Shady, Jamaal Charles are the type of RBs you can rotate and plug in?

breh you combined particular and articulate into one word on some hybrid "framily" shyt

 

[mrken12]

there still are great backs, teams just dont see the point of drafting high when they cna get you in the second.

you dont think jeremy hill or carlos hyde are first round talent?

i guess we will see next year with todd gurley and melvin gordon

Exactly. Good RBs can still be taken late in the draft. Also building a great O-Line first can do wonders for even an average RB.

Tuesday Morning Quarterback -- Twilight of the Running Back - ESPN

"Of the past five Super Bowl winners, Seattle was unusual in employing an old-fashioned feature-back offense. The other four winners -- the Ravens, Giants, Packers and Saints -- either had the running-back-by-committee approach, or in the case of Green Bay, simply didn't run, with just 11 called rushes in its Super Bowl victory.

The rising pace of offense has increased the running-back-by-committee format. In a quick-snap offense, receivers and backs constantly shuffle in and out so they can catch their breath. Once the tailback is seen as interchangeable, he becomes less important."

Did the writer happen to mention how many passing\rushing attempts each team have....or is he just throwing his biased opinion out there.
