[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 819458, member: 4199"] A few reasons. The first is relative scarcity or lack there of. Running back are common and among the easiest to replace. They also have a have the shortest shelf life. Spending a high pick on a player who is potentially used up after 5 years isn't the best use of high picks. Most damning, in my point of view, is how little having a successful running back is to over-all wins. Nothing more perfectly illustrates that than the Peterson Vikings. [B]Zero playoff victories without Favre. [/B] In general, rushing teams aren't the big dogs anymore. It'a about throwing the ball and scoring points. And goofily, more runs aren't required to setup play action passes: [URL]https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2018/rushing-success-and-play-action-passing[/URL] [/QUOTE]
