those valuations were over a decade ago


Are teams really running that differently to the point that a bellcow back isn't needed anymore? Isn't the main reason RBBC rules the day because of the injury risk of the position and not wanting a lot of the cap tied up in an injury prone player? If Ingram stays healthy doesn't that justify the value given up?

it's more of just an abundance of good/great RBs

more supply = lower demand/cost

that is part of it, but since there is such a large supply of RB talent, it's not worth it to pay $7M when you can pay $2M and $3M for 2 guys who will out-produce the individual player (while giving you a safety net)
