When you have a RB having one of the best seasons for a RB ever and the team is still 5-11 that shows how important a good RB is ..

When you have a QB having one of the best seasons for a QB ever you win Super Bowls

Neither are necessarily true. Quit pulling stuff out of your ass and back up your attempt at a thought with facts and figures or don't bother posting a baseless opinion

What do Saquon Barkley, Nick Chubb, Christian McCaffrey, Ezekiel Elliott, Todd Gurley, Leonard Fournette, and Josh Jacobs have in common

0 playoff appearances this year

Don't draft RBs in the top 10, don't give them second contracts

No matter how good they are

One player doesn't make a team. Most teams picked those players high because they completely suck as an organization. A lot of good QBs picked high haven't won anything. A lot of running backs picked high have won. This thought is dumb and based on nothing. You can't win without a running game

Good teams and good GMs don't draft running backs in the top of the 1st round

Name me one who does

The argument isn't that you can win without a running game .. it's that you can plug and play at RB .. any 4th round RB with the volume we gave McCaffrey would have numbers

there’s value in having a good running game and there’s a lot of value in having a top tier running back on a rookie deal but you probably don’t want to be in the position where you have to run the offense entirely through your running back, as this year’s offense demonstrates. it was good for mccaffrey’s stat line though. too bad his value is erased when he’s made the top paid running back in the league. if we’re rebuilding we should probably trade him this offseason

That's a convenient list. The Rams went to the super bowl last year and the Cowboys have gone to the playoffs multiple times since drafting Elliot with a chance still to make it this year. The Raiders didn't add any high profile free agents and took Jacobs in the 1st who legitimized their running game and now they've got a chance to make the playoffs this year.

There's not a single position that has the impact of qb and you're not going to draft a qb every time you're in the top 10. We had a healthy Cam when we drafted CMC. Who could we have drafted that year who would have helped us win more games, qb aside?

      J Person article on Canales and game plan and Rico

      By strato · Posted

      I think you know. Apparently winning is secondary to Bryce’s development. Same as it has been.     In a way it may be good because we didn’t need to make the playoffs and extend this fuging charade about Bryce being the guy. Better in the long run if he gets enough rope to hang himself with.

      I know DC is overthinking this and he really needs to be OC or HC, but how do you call plays with a QB that in all reality, shouldn't be starting. Bryce is wildly inconsistent. He should lean on Rico and the run game, but if he does and wins, it presents a false narrative that Bryce is better than he is and he's potentially stuck with him for another season. If he doesn't, he looks incompetent as a play caller, but it exposes the ugly side of his QB situation that he really does need a QB that can execute at minimum a basic NFL offense with some decent consistency.  I feel a little sorry for the guy because he was anchored with Young this season and even more weight with Dalton getting a 2 year deal. He has very little to work with at the most important position on his team and it's not his doing. The trade deadline was approaching and it was plainly obvious we needed to do something but we didn't for whatever reason.  I don't think he's a complete bonehead and don't know what he's supposed to do. Win games and potentially keep Bryce or lose them by putting the weight on Bryce's shoulders. Either he succeeds or fails.  As a coach I know you're supposed to play to win the game, but do you win now at the ultimate long term detriment to your team and locker room?
