Okay, I went into this trying to take a sample of some of the highest paid and best RB's in the NFL(over the past 5ish years) to see what the data showed in regards to performance in wins and losses. I went into it with a specific thing I was looking for and the data sort of indicates that. 

I'd like to see some interpretations of this information from a few people to see what their conclusions were. Also open to modifying to include additional players or stats.

 

I'm also insanely hungover right now, so if I fuged up some of these calcs, let me know.

I think an interesting outlier is Dalvin Cook. His stats being definitively better in wins is much more like the guys with winning overall records. 

But, you have to consider that last year and this year, Minnesota's biggest successes came from him being the focal point of the offense. Maybe that is one thing that is tough to account for, the style of offense that each team runs.

I'm not sure what you're hoping to prove/disprove. 

No matter how you color his contract, he is a playmaker, and is paid as such.  

I was initially going in to show that high paid RB's generally don't have a big impact on W's and L's, but I don't think the data really showed that. Definitely not the way I expected.

Or teams give the ball to their running backs when they have shitty qb play.

Seems to say running creates wins or winning teams foster running. Though I'm not sure any big conclusions can be drawn.

 

Are teams winning because the running more or are they running more because they are winning?

Teams that win a lot tend to be ahead in a lot of games (duh).  Teams tend to run more when ahead.

Teams that lose a lot tend be behind in a lot of games.  Teams tend to pass more when behind.

What if you looked at how well a team runs on a per carry basis?  Do the numbers change if you look at YPC?

Gonna take a look at that now.

I understand if you think he’s overpaid or it was a bad move. What I don’t get is how this is relevant to the topic of problematic bad contracts and crippling cap allocation decisions to the point it’s all people ever talk about.

I mean I get it, so I’ll add it to the list...it’ll be point #37.

Not really what I am after. Moreso looking at high paid/high performing RB's as a whole. None of my CMC's views are about him the player, it's about RB the position.

It's a sea of green in the averages, outside of CMC and Saquon. I also wonder how badly CMC's numbers have been shifted because of our attempts last season to boost his stats in garbage games rather than to try and win. 

I am gonna break down CMC's year by year splits and see if maybe last year permanently skewed all his data.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
