Neither the Eagles nor the Patriots had a premier workhorse back and those were your #1 and #2 teams. RBs get hurt too often. Guys like Zeke and Barkley will inevitably suffer horrible injuries at some point. It's better to be deep at RB than have one great back. I feel really good about Clement being the one guy that sticks around for a while as we rotate out different backs. He's a good one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it, you don't need a great RB to win SB's, but they certainly don't hurt to have, especially when you don't have a Wentz or Brady. Thank god the Patriots don't value RB, or we might have lost. The Corey Dillon Patriots were the scariest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jroc04 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I think the point is, is that a workhorse back is a luxury. I think the Eagles (not just them) proved, at least last year, depth is just as important as top end talent. You have to know when and how to pay guys. I think Howie has a good handle on how to allocate money. He watched Seattle load up on talent while paying Wilson a minimum. As good as Zeke or Barkley or Shady are, there's a collective that can be about as effective at a fraction of the cost. It's a little irresponsible to pay a RB 7M+. All situations are individual different with contract/team/salary but just on its face: Devonte Freeman: 8M Ingram/Kamara: 5M A combo like Melvin Gordon/Derrick Henry: 4M I think you draft a RB 2nd round on on and work him for 4-5 years and let him go. It's the best approach to protect yourself from potential albatross deals and cap issues. I'm sure they're exceptions but that would be my business model. Like it or not, trading Shady probably helped us long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeaponX Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Yeah, roster construction is maybe the most critical thing. And tying up a bunch of money in a RB seems like a really poor decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
