The HoF game was last week I think so we're getting close! I'd like to start this topic off with a question: What does everyone think about the current running back situation? Do you think it's something that needs to be fixed or will sort itself over time?

The RB situation has already kinda sorted itself out, just not in a way that's beneficial for the actual running backs. I don't really know what they can do to improve their standing, at least in the short-term, since the current CBA lasts another 7 years.

I think they will be more rotation based like pitchers, except make quite a bit less
possible that they develop into hybrid types like Deebo and thats the way of the future --- I live on, THROUGH THIS SEASHELL! VeryInsane's mobile account ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah I guess that was more my question, do you think this is something that needs to be artifically fixed to help running backs or is it "well if they're not valuable then tough"

I'm not sure the NFLPA wants to make exceptions for one position either. But honestly, there are maybe 10 RBs who are real difference makers and the others are basically interchangeable, so they're kinda stuck. --- https://imgur.com/WqDcNNq https://imgur.com/89Z5jrB ...

It's not necessarily the right solution, but as long as QBs and receivers are 'running backs, but with career-extending protections', RBs will get screwed over. --- Not a stinky alien. :( Nintendo Switch Code: SW-5719-6555-8388 ...

What's really ruined the position's value is the passing game emerging to become the dominant part of the offense. You're going to have to learn to become a Marshall Faulk type if you want to be really valued.
Also the fact that defenders are bigger, faster, and stronger than ever means those hits on RBs add up a lot quicker than they used to. --- https://imgur.com/WqDcNNq https://imgur.com/89Z5jrB ... Copied to Clipboard!

You're going to have to learn to become a Marshall Faulk if you want to be really valued. Yeah, and part of why that has happened is QBs can throw into tiny windows with no threat of ruining their receivers' season, and run with minimal danger of even being hit. Take out even half of the running QBs and make those big, fast, strong defenders able to take shots at receivers and running backs will become more valuable quickly. Again, it's probably not the right solution (the right one involves getting the owners to spend more money but lmao that isn't happening). --- Not a stinky alien. :( Nintendo Switch Code: SW-5719-6555-8388 ...

Yeah, the real solution involves them getting paid for the beating they take. RBs are the only position in any sport that can have a great season and it actually diminishes their value because of the "wear and tear" they take.

I'm not sure it's an owner spending money issue, other than a general thing. The cap could be $1 billion, but it doesn't matter since owners would rather spend the money on other positions. RBs just aren't as valued in today's game and aren't going to get the percentage of the cap they got 15 years ago.

I think RBs should try to lobby for higher dollar short term (2-3 year) contracts and forget trying to get 4-5 year deals that compete with other positions incomes. Maybe try to be the best paid short term position. They lose a little job security, but

I would be fine with something creative like RBs getting incentives that dont count against the cap. They would probably have to bargain for that sort of thing. --- Donny: Are they gonna hurt us, Walter? Walter: No, Donny. These men are cowards. ... Copied to Clipboard!
