    I do understand what you’re saying, but we still see a ‘somewhat’ parallel between teams that top the league in rushing and teams that make the playoffs. The league is obviously more focused on the passing game with rule changes but it doesn’t somehow make your team better to not have a functioning run game.

    And I'll make the argument that you see that parallel bc when those top teams are winning they run the ball to eat clock. Which is why their rushing numbers look so good.

    And if we build the OLine and passing attack it takes pressure off the run game and makes it easier to run the ball, even without paying top dollar for an RB.

    Also, none of these highly paid RBs are resulting in better outcomes for their teams either. Gurley, Zeke, Bell.... teams would be better off spending that money elsewhere.

    I LOVE Ryan, but solid tackles are hard to find. I'd have to go Conk over Ryan as long as he's getting moderate right tackle money, not stupid left tackle money.

    We already have two big ticket items in the secondary, a third might be pushing it.

    No, drafted him and was easily more than just a dime a dozen.

    However, he does present an excellent case for why no team should overpay for RB. CJ2K made a serious downturn after his payday.

    I would argue with CJ2K we didn't have a typical running game. He was a home run hitter and tried to break a long one on every carry. He often lost yardage and or had no gain on carries. Not taking anything away from him, HE WAS the fastest RB I have ever seen and given just a crack could go the distance on any play....but, as I have stated, his style and approach made for lots of 2nd and 3rd and longs.

    I’ve always said Casey is overrated. He’s good, but people have always boosted him to be a star in this league and he never really has been. Solid? Yes. Superstar? No

    Haha, yet he’s gone to multiple pro bowls and ranks in the top ten at his position in PFF grade every year. Run stopping beast. Gets to the QB often. Occupies multiple guys to free up space for blitzers. Have you not been watching the games?! No Donald or Mack obviously, but definitely in the next tier.
