[QUOTE="sschind, post: 670133, member: 10247"] It may be a passing league but I do think teams are realizing that passing is A LOT easier to do well and do consistently if you have a RB that other teams respect. Yeah, you might be able to get by with an average back if your QB is a stud and you have great WRs but if you pair them up with a stud RB you might be unstoppable. You are always going to have guys like Elliot, and Gurley from last year, who teams pin their hopes on and IMO rightly so. I don't care if you have the best QB and the best WR corps in the NFL, if you have a chance to get the next Sweetness, or Sanders, or Faulk or whomever you think deserves to be up there you would be a fool not to go for it. I'm not saying Elliot or Gurley will be the next great one but I am speaking in generalities. If there is a back out there that you think has that potential you get him. Besides, I'm a running back kind of guy. I love a team that runs the ball down the other teams throat. Unless you are talking about a spectacular catch I can't think of any passing play that goes for more than 5 yards that is more exciting than an equal running play. A 75 yard pass is fun to see but a 75 yard run is incredible. [/QUOTE]
