Forbes calls out D-Will

[Davidson Deac II]

Talent wise, its debatable. Certainly Williams is a very talented running back.

But if you look at his paid compared to how much or perhaps I should say how little we use him, forbes is right. Williams has 118 Yards on 31 carries for the season. Thats a good day for some backs. Its not Deangelo's fault, but its still true.

[CatMan72]

In today's NFL you don't pay 2 running backs.

Hell most teams don't pay 1 running back, they just draft em and send them on their way.

Most teams aren't lucky enough to find the talent in the draft that we've found at the position.

This is also a philosophical thing... we do much more than just run the ball with these guys.

[CatMan72]

But having said all that I can see the overpaid argument based on recent production and market value of the position.

[g5jamz]

If we should learn anything from the NFL leaders of the league...you do not overpay for running backs.

Most teams are not fugtard stupid enough to draft 2 running backs in the first round 3(?) years apart.

Thanks Hurney.

How is it not?

I don't give Jerry any of my money. He already has enough.

It's has not shown to be a successful strategy. Sure we have a team rushing record or something but who cares when you aren't winning and going to the playoffs.

Forbes doesn't know football!

Maybe Hurney should go write for them?

If you watch the games you are, although inadvertently.

Most teams aren't stupid enough to look for that "talent" twice within three years.

Our drafting of LB's and RB's is crippling us as a franchise.

[Davidson Deac II]

Drafting two rb's as we did was not really a problem. In fact, it was probably the right move for the type of team we were trying at the time. The running game was fantastic back in 08, and got us a division title. Resigning them both to big contracts might end up being a big problem if we can't afford to sign anyone in other areas.

every player in the entire NFL is over paid. Drew Brees is making $120 million dollars yet New Orleans and the state of Louisiana is one of the poorest in the entire country.

I can't feed my 5 kids anything but ramen noodles but hey! who dat!
