Just some quick evidence of why paying running backs a substantial amount has not resulted in winning Super Bowls. Regardless of his ability to catch, kamara is not worth the amount we paid for him. I hope he proves this pattern wrong and we win a super bowl. But the patriots have proven you don’t need one rb that can catch and run when you can pay one of each very little to excel in each respectively. The rest of the teams show you don’t have to over pay a running back to win a super bowl with how the game is played these days.
