There will always be RB's and always be workhorse backs, but there are fewer of the them now.
Agreed, but that just means there will be more need for more running backs. That could actually open up the NFL market for running backs.
Think about it, instead of a team having one workhorse RB, it needs three. That's more job opportunity in the NFL.
What RB wants to go sit behind AP? I'd rather go to Buffalo and split time with CJ Spiller. I carry the ball 10-15 times a game and he gets his 10 touches a game. Longer career and more opportunity rather than wasting away on the bench.
Just another way of looking at it.

that also means the position is devalued relative to what it used to be. RB is toward the bottom of avg NFL salaries by position. S owhile there may be more opprotunities, they will pay less.
