Sure it does. The complaint is production. The NFL is shortchanging the running back position regardless of production.

This is like cobblers and candlemakers. The value they used to provide is not the value they provide today. This is just a media ginned up issue because of current contract disputes. The proof is that no one cried over fullbacks basically being completely phased out and the exact same economics working against traditional linebackers. Instead of propping up candlemakers, maybe those guys should try and provide light bulbs.
