Quote:Gurley is a great prospect, but he is a running back. It's a passing league and every single asset should go towards stopping the opposing QB and protecting ours. We should look no further than the teams in our division and see how they have fared. Foster has been great (UDFA, btw), but where has he gotten them and now they're paying him a ton. CJ2K had some great seasons that got them nowhere and then they paid him and now he is what he is. Then there is TRich. Running backs have such a short self life, just not worth it. Then if they turn out to what you hope they are, you're gonna have to spend a pretty penny to keep him. Plus, you can find them anywhere. Look no further to the leader rookie rushers this year. Both UDFAs.

Its not as much of a passing league as people believe. Running Backs are still a very important piece of the game. Look at Seattle who everyone thinks we are trying to copy. They are a run first team, but have the weapons for passing as well. Look at the past winners. RBs play a very important role.

Look at the top teams currently. They all rely on their RBs to make a difference but have a passing game as well. The broncos are the exception. This is because they have an elite QB, an elite we, and a good TE who can catch. We don't have the elite pass catchers.
