It’s so hard to justify paying running backs a lot of money over an extended period because they can have such sudden and sharp declines. The Cowboys contract for Zeke ended up being terrible, and the moment The Panthers gave cmc the big contract he kept getting hurt. It’s frustrating because players of that level deserve the pay, but the teams that do pay them what they deserve end up screwing themselves by doing it. They almost need to have a special running back rule where they can renegotiate every year because of how short and risky their careers are. Players would love that, teams wouldn’t.

the cornerback pay is shocking to me how are wrs making more than them on avg when its easier to find an avg wr as opposed to the inverse

This why I play WR bro I’m not getting tackled by 300 pound guys and having my knees messed up, especially what happened to my Goat Cmc(49ers fan)

A couple things. 1 you could decrease the rookie deals for RB which limits rookie pay or eliminate rookie deal contracts completely for the running back position which gives NFL teams a discount on running backs. This means Running back pay will be maxed out while they are in their prime. Secondly you can put salary caps on specific positions that get the bulk of the money. The fact that the quarterback position can take up nearly half the salary of all the starters combined is kind of crazy (the wide receiver market is crazy too).

Putting salary caps on positions like quarterback can prevent franchises from sucking for more than half a decade based on one mistake due to the incredible leverage quarterbacks have while also spreading the money around to positions that get paid significantly less. This is a win/win for both the teams who have to take major salary cap financial risks for the QB position and the players that don’t play quarterback or wide receiver who are comparatively paid significantly less even if they are a great football player just because they don’t play WR or QB.

Jeanty is definitely going to be picked top 5. Running backs are underutilized & QBs are overpaid compared to every position. That’s why Mahomes & Tom Brady is always winning because they are willing to take a lower pay to improve team.

Damn ur a really good yt im surprised u ain’t got a lot more subs dude keep it up these are really good videos

[disispeter]

Rb should start getting paid after year 2 instead of that 4 year rookie contract

[brandonfouts]

I remember RIcky WIlliams 2003 he carried the ball like 30 times a game barely making 1, 000 for the season, he was ran into the freaking ground by the lame Dolphins offense.

Kicking is very important if you understand football honestly, kickers win way more games than running backs

That accent is unique, are you from Europe?

Dude something that confuses me is all the injuries that happen to these guys and they can’t play as long as the guys from the 70’s-2000’s. The game was more run heavy. Way more rough because the rules weren’t as safe as they are today and the recovery technology wasn’t nearly as evolved as it is now. Maybe it’s because the defenders are much bigger and faster?

Everytime I think abot running back declines I think of Austin Eckler .He was so good.

[tonylopez]

If you haven’t played RB at all in your life you should be quite

[ArinBopardikar]

[Kwayne]
