Modern NFL running games are solely reliant on scheme and OL play and have very little to do with the skill of the runner himself. Big plays come on the perimeter, not out of the backfield.
Completely false. Elite rbs can carry an offense. We’ve seen guys like Henry and McCaffrey completely change their teams offensive fortunes and be the catalyst for their offenses.
How many WR can say the same? Maybe Tyreek Hill because of his elite speed/COD. Deebo had that kind of year in 2021. Before that? Only Moss and Megatron this millennium would be considered and Moss was meh in Oakland and Megatron is one of the Mount Rushmore NFL freak athlete guys.
RBs aren’t that important if you have one of the 2-3 best QBs in the league, but if you don’t, you better have one you can depend on.

Derrick Henry missed 9 games in 2021 due to injury. In those 9 games, the Titans went 6-3 and averaged 140 rushing yards per game. Their production did not drop off one bit. Know why? Because their very good OL was healthy and they had the same running scheme.
Last year (2022 season), Kansas City made their Super Bowl run with 7th round pick Isiah Pacheco and Georgia Southern QB Jerick McKinnon splitting the load out of the backfield while 1st round pick CEH rode the bench.
In 2018, when the Rams made their Super Bowl run, they signed CJ Anderson off the street to replace an injured Todd Gurley and got the same level of production.
LeVeon Bell is another example. He thought he was more responsible for his success than the Steelers' scheme and OL. He sat out an entire season, signed a huge deal with the Jets, and immediately sucked donkey dick. RBs cannot out-athlete front sevens in modern football. Front sevens have gotten too good.
RBs are a dime a dozen for the most part. Taking one before the 3rd round of the draft is a complete waste of a pick, and signing one to a second contract is a bad use of resources.

CMac is really good in SF, but he didn't change their offense or team fortunes

You can find a dependable RB cheap, and late in most drafts.
Acquiring a RB today is like buying a German car. Lease when new and flip when the warranty is over in 3-4 years. The last thing you want to do is pay a lot of money for an "out of warranty" RB. A lot of teams who wasted money this offseason are going to be regretting that decision as early as October 2024
