Dude, you can probably do that with every single position. My point is that on the field, RBs play a key role. They play a vital role on every single play. The position is one of the most important in football. Generally, if you have a very good one, that puts you even more ahead of the game. You can try and argue otherwise, but anyone that knows basically anything about the game, knows that the position is vital to the game. The position is highly valued and central to the game. That's why teams try and acquire a top one via the draft, or in free agency, especially if they're on the cusp of championships. All that being said, the position has a relatively short shelf life due to the sheer physicality and centrality of it, so it takes a toll on the best of them. As such that has affected its market value as a whole--not the value that it has on Sundays--and that has caused teams to be reluctant to pay top-of-the-line money for RBs on a relative basis when it comes time to renew their contracts. Even still, the cream of crop can still make a decent payday compared to most players on the team, even though their salaries are a fraction of what some QBs, DEs, and WRs make due to the nature of those positions. But, you know what? Their skills are still coveted, and the vital roles that they play are still central to a team's success. Taking everything into account, smart GMs are always trying to balance the necessity of their play vs the brutality of the position vs what is fair pay in light of all of those realities. I can't say it any more simple than that. Hopefully you understand what I'm saying, even if you don't agree with everything (or anything). It's OK either way. We're still good. -
IMO basically everything this time of year is worthless filler and not worth watching but yeah, if someone was so inclined to watch any of it I could definitely understand tuning Tepper out entirely.
