You don't pay the most replaceable position in all of sports and expect to win titles without a QB on a rookie scale. It's not happening. How many titles do elite RBs have in their primes?

Oh God, I forgot about the rookie pay scale then lol. That's a rarity tbh. I'll do much larger research when I get home but I'll show that you simply don't pay RB and win titles.

Don’t need to prove it to me, I completely agree with you that paying RBs top 3-5 deals can be extremely detrimental to building a championship roster. But it can absolutely be done. I would have zero qualms about paying someone like CMC top dollar. He is the type of weapon you can build a team around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
