I see where you are coming from, but is paying a great RB all that money really worth it? Look at AP.

Can't speak for him but I'd say QB, LT, DE (elite pass rushers) and shutdown CB's. The league has proven that top tier RB's are not a necessity. New Orleans had a top 10 rushing attack, even with Brees gaudy numbers, and they did it by committee.Raw Dawgin' it;1125000 wrote:What positions do you think deserve the most money?

Typically, the teams with the perceived "elite" RB's (Minny/Tennessee/JAX) are losers. There are a few exceptions with Ray Rice & Arian Foster.

i think QB is a given - other than that i agree, i'd pay the most to protect my elite QB and to guys who get after the QB on def. Giants D line is only going to get better, well worth the money to have guys that force mistakes.BR1986FB;1125006 wrote:Can't speak for him but I'd say QB, LT, DE (elite pass rushers) and shutdown CB's.

That's why if you ask most NFL GM's who the "big 3" are if you want to build a championship contender, they used to tell you "QB, LT & shutdown QB." I think it may have changed to "QB, LT & elite passing rushing DE" after the Giants model. You never hear "WR or RB" in that conversation. Those guys are much easier to find.Raw Dawgin' it;1125015 wrote:i think QB is a given - other than that i agree, i'd pay the most to protect my elite QB and to guys who get after the QB on def.

Got his money and got out. He was a hard runner though, no doubt the style took its toll on his body.

It would be great if the Redskins lost their a 1st rounder in one of the next 3 years. The trade would be null and the Browns would be the only buyers. RGIII to Cleveland after all, for their #4 and a pack of chewing gum.BR1986FB;1128583 wrote:Pat Kirwan ‏ @
