With the way these quarterbacks are getting hurt these days I’m surprised these teams wouldn’t want to sure up these good rbs. We just gone forget how Henry carried Tennessee on his back? Who knows what they’ll look like now since I guess that’s over. So are these teams going back to 3 QBs now?

Imagine watching your QB sail multiple passes in practice, games, clutch moments etc. just to see owners tripping over their feet to pay them but not you. Gotta be the most :mjcry: feeling
This

Average QBs making 4 times what you are making as an elite RB is retarded

It's tough, no team seems to want to give a RB a second contract, preferring to just draft new ones. The Josh Jacobs one is ridiculous.

Unfortunately, what can they do? All the top RBs sit out in a show of protest? Not likely... I want them to get paid because RB is the only position that gets hit every single snap but I don't see an easy solution to this

The wild part about this is they're still cool with overpaying Daniel Jones or Ryan Tannehill or Kirk Cousins vs paying an actual proven elite RB more than $12 million per year. Jimmy G on his 4th big ass contract and about to have Raider fans punching the air during the season.

It's all bullshyt. It's not actually justifiable. Kyler Murray had to do a press campaign to get the Cardinals to remove a COD clause and still got paid.
How many games are those RBs going to win compared to those QBs? Tannehill and Cousins actually had some good years. Henry is really the only exception. QBs will always be overvalued in the NFL. You can see how far an offense falls off from a starter to a backup

Yall talking about RB contracts??? Offensive Linemen don't get paid ahit and literally are the most important players in the game. Next is defensive line.

Yall letting your bigotry show...it's cause we fat :sadcam:
Lol what, the 10th best paid o linesman makes about 20ms, the 10th rb about 6

It's a disposable position with a short shelf life. If you give them a big contract chances are they'll hit a wall in the middle of it. Really you just draft another one and let the previous one walk.

this is deeper than most are thinking if you ask me

i really feel like it's connected to folks insecurity

like why would you try & nerf the most dynamic athletes on the roster¿

coaches should be looking for ways to get the ball in these dudes hands

rbs the only players in football who can almost take over solo & make something out of nothing

heroball style

those old school mythical type players were almost always rbs

stories about athletes just faster & stronger than everyone running through whole defenses scoring

they been moving towards a style of play that gets more praise for the coaches as masterminds & the coaches representative on the field the qb

it's a microcosm of brain vs braun

they are moving away from the trenches & the hand to hand warfare that the sport was a proxy for

the rb is losing value because the rb is maybe the only position that takes away from the perception of the qb(coach by proxy) as alpha & omega

same concept as to why they still resist dominant athletes as qb's

they don't want anything that implies that the coaches intelligence is not responsible for all success

when a player makes shyte happen off natural talent they can't take credit or chalk it up to x's & o's

the pro style qb is the icon of the coaches authority

the rb & the running.qb in a sense represent raw uncoachable talent

basically they just some haters

that's my theory ha

Vikings are the first team this season who thought they could plug and play anyone and it’s not working out
Yep!

This league is such a follower copycat league mostly filled with idiots

It’s all fun and games until your team is 0-4 to start the season

Cutting Cook who overcompensated for our garbage 🗑️ offensive line was a mistake I called since the moment it happened

@Joe Sixpack @AlbertPullhoez know too
