Teams need to run the ball more because these QBs fukking suck
The NFL has effectively killed the RB position, listen to this stat.
- Thread starter LastEmperor2k2
- Start date
Tell me right now besides the gawd #28 who are the great RBs in the league?
You'd never know cause teams don't commit to the run enough for that talent to show through.
Check these goal line stands with teams throwing 4 times in a row to get 3 yards
I would never draft a running back. I can find an undrafted free agent to fill a roster spot.
The thing that you notice when the league is moving in this direction is the emphasis on a great QB. Gone are the days that a Trent Dilfer can win a Super Bowl, if your QB can't be effective dropping back 25+ times while limiting turnovers you're going to have a rough time. Only if you have historic defenses like Seattle and Baltimore recently can you offset mediocre QB play, and even then the league inserts some new BS every year to handicap them.
You can't get by with average QB play nowadays if you're defense is average. There are maybe 8-10 QB's that have this ability if they have a decent team around them after that there is just a gap filled mainly of teams peddling along to nowhere. And that gap because of the new rules is even widened further when we talk about Rodgers, Brady, and Manning.
I believe QB's like Cutler and Can would have had an easier time in the league during the late 90's, early 2000's

Ehhhh, Russel Wilson just won the SB in a very dilferific way
Read the post again guy. I said unless you have a phenomenal defense like Seattle or Baltimore did recently. Besides, Wilson wasn't asked to throw a lot last year, but when he did he threw it a lot more efficiently than Trent Dilfer ever was. 100 QB rating, 26TD's to 9ints, 63% completion percentage. That ain't average.
Funny thing is that QBs who usually throw it 40/50 times a day don't win the chip.

My first 4 picks on Fantasy football this year were Graham, D Thomas, Cobb, and Maclin
Everyone else was picking RBs the first 3 rounds
I'm #1 in scoring in my league. Be ahead of the curve brehs

Why is this sad? Averaging 100 yards a game has never been commonplace.
1600 yard seasons have always been
worthy

all that elite athleticism being squandered
it's especially sad because the rb position is what got me into the game as a young one
eddie george *ricky williams*priest holmes*jamal lewis*edge*l.t.*all the dope late 90's early 00 backs
at this point I've matured and I look at sports as an investment
you get about 10 years of prime athleticism before andropause docks your explosiveness
for all my 6ft+++ homies pick up the point guard position
for all my sub 6fters find a place on the pitch(world football/soccer)
get$$$$$$ righteously
instead of getting fukked for comparative chump change
rbs have the shortest career average and the lowest salary for skilled offensive position*
it's literally not worth it anymore*
Why you typing like a twelve year old girl on some reddit shyt breh breh?That was a really sound post though
