The guy said it's been like this for decades.

Hence, the 30 year historical.

Don't give me no run-of-the-mill bammer-ass RB on the cheap. Spend that damn money, trade those damn picks, move up in the draft...for somebody worth a damn at a position that accounts for 42% of our offense.

The RB does not account for 42% of the offense...the offense accounts for 100% of the offense. RB's are 9% of the offensive scheme. Having a good one helps, but Barry Sanders showed even the best cannot make the team successful when the other parts are missing.

Except the guy that this panic is stemming from wasn't a first rounder... Neither is the guy who is injured. It all depends on the current trends whether it's a reach or not. I trust the FO.

49% of play calls and 35% of our offensive yards in 2025.

Yeah, let's cut corners and draft somebody on Day 2.

K9 was a day 2 pick.

K9 was a day 2 pick.

As was Charbs.

We need a feature back who doesn't come out on 3rd/passing downs. Pick up blitzes, run proper routes, pound the dam rock!

49% of play calls require OL, WR, TE, potentially a FB and the QB in addition to the RB to execute the play. Denver proved you can plug good backs into a talented, effective offensive scheme and keep running it at a high level.

I’m not saying it won’t be a problem, but prefer seeing the team in pre-season, after we see the roster post draft & FA, the staff has had a chance to coach them up, and witness execution before claiming the sky is falling.
