The Bengals are the only team in the top 10 of that list to get a Super Bowl appearance. I get you're a homer but you're digging deep here if you think any of those other teams you mentioned are legit Super Bowl contenders.

your statement :  The only one I see is Joe Mixon with the Bengals. All the other teams have fringe playoff hopes or are already thinking about who they might draft next year.

You're just going to omit the part literally right before that asking how many Super Bowl contending teams have a running back top 5 in salary? If you just want to bash each other let's give it a go but surely we can come up with something better than this?

no, you literally said the rest of the teams have fringe playoff hopes or already thinking about who they draft next year.... those teams are top of their divisions. lol. Your statement was completely false. 6 of the 7 highest paid RBs are all on winning teams....

We're 6 games into the season there's a long ways to go bud. Dallas has already been one and done recently in the playoffs via a very embarrassing meltdown their QB has been hurt the Vikings have yet to advance any further similarly the Titans were dispatched quickly last season and haven't looked quite as formidable as they did a few seasons ago. The Chargers could make a run but do you feel confident in that? That leaves the Giants so you think their ready to make the jump to Super Bowl contention this season? Cool.

Can you confidently say that any of the teams listed are already thinking about the draft? Bc I think you attempted to do so, but we both know that is wrong. It is so weird you are defending this statement:  All the other teams have fringe playoff hopes or are already thinking about who they might draft next year.

The thinking about the draft part was in reference to some of the rest of the teams in the top ten of the list. Like us the Browns the Saints and maybe even the Packers unless Rodgers suddenly wakes up and he's 25 again. Unless you would like to dispute all of that too while you're at it.

not sure if you are aware but you put top 5, not top 10 in your original comment. I could agree that the Saints and Panthers are teams with the top 10 paid RBs in the league that are looking forward. However, the rest are looking at getting to the playoffs and potentially winning the Super Bowl.

We're just wading into the semantics waters at this point. I would caution you about making assumptions like that this early in the season. There are 11 more games and that's a long ride. And hey furthermore as far as assuming a team is a contender perhaps too early we kinda have some experience with that ourselves with that Kyle Allen win streak and starting 3-0 with Darnold.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      I suppose it depends on what you mean as 'elite'. I typically mean someone that can play with lower level pieces around them and still win. There are very few of those.

      The running back situation....

      By frankw · Posted

      It would obviously be incredible if Brooks came back and just ran away with the job on his opportunities like Rico Dowdle did last year. But any Panthers fan that has been around the block knows better than to go ahead and make plans for that. Brooks has missed a ton of not just playing time but meaningful early career growth in a league that has increasingly devalued the position from an investment standpoint beyond one or two superstars. There's really not any comparison to look back on that lines up with the current iteration of the league at least not favorably. The key thing that this RB room has going for them is our investment in the OL. The highest paid OL in the league two years in a row paired with our staff should make it easier for just about any RB to get into open running lanes. But that is also anything but a given considering our OL was largely middle of the pack last year. In the end it might all be a moot point anyways if we again struggle to establish a viable passing attack.

      I don't have him making the team and I think same goes for the staff, but they are hopeful for a PS spot.    I mean of course I'd like 3 all-world at RB and every spot, just doesn't work that why. Panthers normally carry 3. dan always talk up Etienne, even called him a future star.....I think Brooks will be fine as a 2 with health pls.....  Chubba can carry a seasons load as lead dawg.    Its fine, I mean backup OGs or CB is much higher on my worry scale(Id even put QB room as worse than RB room too...)
