Anybody that pays a running back big money over a long period is dumb

CJ Anderson the latest to show that a running back is only as good as its o-line.

Sure, Gurley is the better player but why would you pay a king's ransom for a RB when that money can go elsewhere to positions with longer lifespans?

By this reasoning, you shouldn’t pay QBs big money either bc look at what Nick Foles is doing.

Kickers should be the only players with 8 figure salaries. Perhaps the Bears would still be alive.

Agreed to an extent. Bark and Gurley are next level elite and worth a good payday. Id rather an elite RB than receiver cost I think. Receivers seem to be bigger drama queens as well and rely on a great QB either way. Elite RB makes fifty percent or more of your offensive game plan better instantly. Good line and RB means game over.
