don't make me laugh, a great safety changes opposing QB's gameplans and good to great RB's are franchise players in most cases

---

you know nothing about the NFL

there are about 3-4 elite positions in the NFL right now; QB, LT, and DE...you can maybe add CB

safety is NOT an elite position, neither is RB. Look no further than the draft, how many safeties ever go top 10? And you can make a case for never drafting a RB in the first round, I mean wasn't Pierre an UDFA himself??? The shelf life for RBs these days and the fact that every team uses a 2-3 back system makes paying a lot to one RB a bad investment

you're dumb

Pointless man, pointless. You're trying to convince Columbus that the world is actually round. Not going to happen in this life or the next. It's also hilarious that apparently the longer you hang around on ST, the smarter you are at the game of football and the business aspect as well. Guess we need to be here quite a bit more.

you don't think a great RB has the power to change a game like a QB?

idiots who dont realize the NFL in 2010 is a passing league make me laugh

if DE was so elite why was NDamukong Suh so sought after

---

because suh is a great player and better than any DE available this year, that doesnt change the fact more DE's have been taken in the first round the last 10 years than DT's...and even a majority of the DT's taken were 3-4 niche players...DT is important, ill give you that, but you aint convincing noooobody its more important than a pass rusher, sorry

I said great, and Sharper was great in his prime, he picked off a lot of top QB's and will be a HOF'er.

---

so why does that justify paying him a lot of money in 2010? sharper had a great 2009, no doubt, but just isnt smart to bank on him having a couple more great season, no way

I said the RB position is the glamour, elite position in the NFL, almost as valuable as the QB.

---

this is absurd on so many levels...RB's are a dime a dozen, we hear about a late round pick or undrafted guy breaking out every damn year, kinda like pierre thomas. to compare RB to QB is so retarded...you can win without an elite RB, you cannot win without an elite QB, period.

quote:

---

and to say a RB in the NFL is not an elite position is completely assinine, you just insulted probably half the Pro Footbal Hall of Fame members.

---

this has nothing to do with pro football in 2010. you have to be able to throw the ball, rush the passer, and protect the passer- FACT

here is why your argument sucks arse in one paragraph, the Saints was completely a passing team in 2008 and what happened? you'll probably fumble around for an answer.

but look at the difference this past season when the stable of good backs was combined with the passing. A topflight RB like an AP or Cris Johnson can eat up a clock, make the chains move, and breakoff long td runs, completely wear down a defense to open it up for the passing game.

school is out!

I didn't say I was done wasting my time here idiot, just with you, who btw I just wish you would stop replying. Idiocy annoys me.

go to the rant, man, take your idiocy there.

It annoys me that you keep replying to me, you are stupid, period, I'm talkin about something you can't comprehend, but yet you keep replying to me. GTFO
