Last year and in previous years, the talking point was that you didn't need to pay RBs.

You can get younger guys in the draft. You can do a run-by-committee with multiple guys.

Yada, yada, yada.

Saquon and Derrick are showing that elite backs can turn a good team into superbowl contenders.

Both of them have taken immense pressure off of their QB and the alternatives don't do that.

well of course they can.

RB's are kinda like closers in baseball. If you have one on a bad team, it doesn't really make sense for you to keep it.

Every year these cacs tell us RBs don’t matter and then every December-Feb we’re told that the teams that contend are the ones that run the ball well and stop the run. Yet we allow these nerds to say dumb shyt while gleefully trying to erase a position from the game.

They were the one seed hosting the afc title game before him but apparently he turned them into contenders lmao

The Eagles were a good team? They lost every game down the stretch, got crushed in their playoff game, both of their coordinators got fired, and the coach almost got fired.
Because the defense sucked. It’s great now lmao

The defense is more improved this year than the offense improved with saquon

Exactly. It's like putting a 10K sound system in a 1992 Nissan Sentra with 450K miles on it.

I mean, it's nice but you've kind of missed the mark
