Why you don't want to make a running back the centrepiece of your offence

I'm not sure about that. I think olineman get hurt more than RBs.  Sure seems that way

Career length is about a year longer on average for linemen, RB have the shortest career length. Part of that is replacement cost as RBs are significantly less valuable than linemen. Injury is only a thing because you watch the Jaguars who have a terrible history with O-linemen. The key difference is that RBs fall off a cliff while linemen slide down a hill.

You wanted Barmore or Moore. Jenkins missed most of his rookie year as well and he ain't better than Etienne

Yes, I thought you asked which O-lineman I favored. You also seem to have the benefit of hindsight in everything you say. I'm talking about philosophy while you're trying to rub noses over the unknowable.
