At this point the nfl should just re brand as a national 7 on 7 league cause it's clear the league could care less about playing actual american football
The cause of this drop is rule changes that favor passing, running backs being to only position than can legally take hits, which results in less offensive value and shorter careers. Just not worth investing in and it’s not the runnings backs faults
@@JAMuUP I played RB plenty. Running plays are simple. Get the ball and hit a hole. Pass blocking? Help pick up blitzes from the inside out. Receiving? Run a flare or to the flats. The only position more basic is kicking. It is the least complicated position on the field.
Exactly what they are doing 6/10 kids will say they want to play Wr. Also look at Bunchie Young aka Super Bowl Kid he played Rb his whole childhood now he plays reciever 😢
@@CxDubxU He was the last running back to get paid the max bag before his previous contact ended without being franchise tagged and IMMEDIATELY turn to shit right after.
The one thing I do hate about this is it takes away an offensive option. So if a receiver is unable to get open, then what? Yea the QB could run, but idk just seems stupid IMO to get rid of the RB
Very few running backs are like the running backs of the past. They are now underappreciated wide receivers. Football is not the same as it once was. Sad😢!
Mike Leach has completely taken over football. There is a use for an RB in this system, just not what it used to be. you need a relatively fast guy who can run, block, and catch equally well.
This is why teams like the Chargers, the Giants, and Raiders aren’t going to do shot with their current schemes. They have reciever minded coaches who are too dumb to release they have incredible talents, some of them generational, at RB. Those are talents you build your offense around, and don’t try and wait them out with Franchise Tags and 1 year deals.
@@JAMuUP you don’t need to be one domensional. Take Derrick Henry for example. He is a dominant pass catcher, rusher, and blocker. You need to build your offense around a talent like that. Same with Barkley and Saquon
I don't think that they're going to go away from the position I think that a lot of teams going to a one-two punch where they will use 2 running backs that keep your back feel fresh and everyone healthy
Barkley is a great example of why they cant get paid. Two great years out of five and already closer to the end of his career than the start. Maybe 3 more productive years left and of those three how many will be as good as last year? Probably none.
The top running backs in the league are not Hall of fame level. There is a reason no one isn’t throwing cash out bc there isn’t generational talent right now.
The rb position is still important, they just moved to a rb by committee approach pretty much league wide. More guys running the ball is less risk than literally putting all your eggs in one basket for the team. Sucks for the elite guys.
They can't eliminate the position,but if RBs want there respect and value back become your name again RUNNING BACK. Owners and coaches forget not to many years ago when RBs wasn't utilized as PASS CATCHERS. Teams literally carried a 3rd down back who was a tweener. So basically if the players get back to the old school RB contracts of carries/rushes over how many touches they get and put a ridiculous number for catches incentives problem solved
I was NFL bound until them Sebring Lightning bolt boys took out my knees in the Heartland Championship game of the 7th grade Junior high school round of 64 in 1997. Them good ole days as the running back for them Hardee Junior High Wildcats.
Imagine a QB only dropping back with the option of them running or throwing. No blocking back. You can only RPO yourself. I assume that they would move that position onto the line as a highbred guard/massive TE. Defensive lines would be blitzing the entire game. That means the quarterback will have the evolved into basically a 6' foot 5 sprinter. What a gun of an arm.
You don’t really need a true RB. You could use a receiver as a third down back kinda guy and use a linebacker as a goal line back if you wanted to 😂 imagine Patrick Willis as an RB at the time hahahhaa
You cant only pass the ball in the nfl, the running game is there for a very important reason, so i dont see them just not running the ball. It keeps the defense honest.
Just because teams are finding running backs who will do the job for less money does not mean that they will completely eliminate the running back position
It's because there is an abundance of great rbs these days. Supply and demand is basic economics. Rbs aren't as valuable as they were back in the day. Simple as that
How the runningback position without destroying your entire offense though? Eliminating the runningback position will make way more difficult to complete passes
I wouldn't exadurate to much on that statement. I would say less used than now. I think you would still have to have it to run the clock out and control the tempo and still have a legit run game.
Man I'd boycott the league and let's see how the league does and if anyone tries to play running back do them like the mob did back in the day swim with the fishes we love the running backs
Okay, that doesn't even make sense. Teams still run the ball. It's not like they're fullbacks who don't get utilized anymore. There's still 3-4 RBs on every roster.
That's so sad. My kids will never see an NFL with running back greatness like Marshawn Lynch's beast-quake, Barry Sanders' finesse or Marion Barber going across the field just to hit someone on the way to a touchdown. Running backs are a staple of American football and they can't ban that position. If they do, the NFL will never be the same. 😢
It's like cutting the flow of water. They phased out the fullback, and the running back position relys a good amount on that lead blocker to clear the gap. The best way to fix it: Make rookie deals for running backs 3 year max (so they either sign them again for a higher contract or go to another team, if their any good). Have a max number of shotgun and pistol formation plays by an offense in a game.
It wouldn't make sense because at the highschool and younger level, they can't throw the ball consistently. They run the ball on 90% of plays in highschool and younger. So if they take out runningbacks, the youth will take the hardest hits
How is teams not giving rb’s huge contracts equate to the league is getting rid of the position?? I bet the backs still make way more $ than they deserve
If they get rid of running backs then HS teams wont function, then college teams wouldnt function, the NFL would be no more and i think all the RBs should strike.
Pure stupidity smdh 😔😔😒... There goes majority of football excitement plays & exciting players 🥱 this is when volleyball becomes my interesting 😢.. some stuff is better left untouched plzzzzz !!!!
I hope realize that this is just a way to get people talking. The position is still valuable just like all the positions in football. Teams just learning their lesson to not break the bank for a RB. They've been burned to many times is recent memory and they have no insentive anymore to recent the RB market for no reason.
They can blame the past RB’s for this. Christian mcCaffrey, zeke elliot, Todd gurley. All players that secured the bag and didn’t do anything after but leave teams with major regrets. The RB class needs to look in the mirror and accept their faults.
@@cedriclarnette5153 If you pay attention to what the video is about and what I put is that the RB’s disappeared. They got their money and didn’t live up to their new contracts so these new RB’s have them to blame. Owners and GM’s don’t trust the RB’s anymore and I can’t blame them.
ZEKE Elliot Dallas got there money worth he was the best rb in the game for almost 4 years no cap he wasn’t the reason they didn’t win it’s a shyt load of QBS THAT GET A BAG AN NEVEE AMOUNT TO BO WINS ITS BACK UP QBS GETTING PAID MORE THEN SAQON HE IS THE GIANTS BEST PLAYER PERIOD AN AGAIN ITS BACK UP QBS MAKING THt if u are in the league your not over paid ONLY QBS ARE OVER OAID BY THE WAY
@@cedriclarnette5153 Dallas got their money worth off his rookie contract. Dude made millions but when he resigned they didn’t get what they paid for. By pollards 3rd year, he was already better than zeke. I wouldn’t pay Barkley either, he’s only had two solid years with the giants all the other years he was hurt. He could get paid today and start playing like shit tomorrow because he was playing through injury. Also qb’s get paid more because it’s the toughest and most valuable position in football. But again the RB’s from recent years are to blame for these RB’s not getting their money.
Raiders are wasting Josh Jacobs away they should’ve just traded him. He’s worth a first for sure but I know a team had two 2nd rounders and a player for them at least. He’s a beast and still young.
RBs need a buff. How about they can't get tackled between the first yard from scrimmage in both directions (so rbs can't get TFLed unless it's more than a yard away from scrimmage and they basically get guaranteed one yard) How OP is this buff?
Well when u want 20-30 mil a year it’s kinda asking for a lot getting 10-15 mil a year is still insane contracts compared to the avg contract in the early 2000s
The CBA makes big contracts possible. Ownership has to spend an agreed upon percentage of revenue on salary. The salaries of teams are insane because the profit of NFL teams is insane. The problem with the RB posistion is there is not much of a gap between the starter and the 2nd string. But there is a huge gap between All-pro and All-time. With the trend to protect QBs and receivers, as well as encouraging the passing game, teams don't rely on the running game. The new NFL is get a premier QB, protect him, and pass the ball. 35-30 is what the league wants, not 6-3 in the big game.
I don't watch football anymore anyway, more specifically the NFL. I only watch football games Coach Prime is apart of coaching, other than that I don't watch football at all.
This VID COMES FROM A FAN WHO NEVER PLAYED FOOTBALL 💯 WITHOUT RB ALOT OF QB PASS YARDS WOULDN'T BE AS HIGH..WHO GOING TO PICK UP THE BLITZ IN THE BACKFIELD..YOU HAVE TO RUN AT SOME POINT YOU CAN'T PASS THE WHOLE GAME.
The league is just running the money down and get rid of some high contracts. They can't get rid of the RB position because you need a body to block and provide an immediate out if the QB needs it.
Well, to be fair, what do we expect? I mean, which of us would think it wise to drop $30+ million/YEAR on a RB... Just to watch them get injured (within the 1st 2 years of their career(s)). Look at Barkley. When he was on that one body temp Science show, he was being touted as a potential Bo Jackson redux. I'll stop myself before going in on the topic of recent QB pay debacles lOl. Point is, at the end of the day, it's a sport & some folks are somewhere between greedy & no knowing how to Fairly calculate their True worth. How about Lineman? How much do they make? Especially Center's; they take INSANE amounts of Damage *&* are (essentially) the Gate Keepers of the entire actual sporting event.
I'm not buying it. There are plenty of rbs fine with 5,6 7, 9 mill salary. James white from pats, perfect example. Compare teams that overpay these rbs vs ones who don't Who wins more
Well maybe they should just kind of exempt them from the rookie contract. Don't force them to go through the fifth year or be franchised. Maybe for a running back after 2 years on their rookie contract, they can negotiate and not be put on a franchise tag.
The RB position is important just like every other position they have to run like a well oiled machine. A good RB sets up the pass , play action etc.. a strictly passing league just wouldn’t be very appealing! They need to be paid they get serious contact almost every play they touch the ball sacrifice their bodies !
It’s not that RBs aren’t valuable. It’s that they are replaceable. It’s hard to win a ring without a great qb, and great QBs don’t need great running backs most of the time. So why pay huge money to a great rb when you can get solid players at the position in days 2 and 3 of the draft? It’s not like guys like Saquon aren’t getting offers, he was offered 10-11 million a year according to most accounts. He just isn’t getting the deal he wants.
If that's true go ahead! I already stopped watching because of all these Chicken Sh*t rules, especially the Brady-B*tch Rule! I know what the NFL is up to! Not going to work!!!
Or just keep RB’s and pay them less. You can get them cheap as Free Agents out of College or Draft them 5th-round or later. Most don’t last longer than 4-years because it’s a brutal position
If they do this it would cause pass attempts to go up, then violent hits and concussions would go up. It would not be good for the safety of the players. Not thrat the NFL gives a shit about the quality of life of the men who make the nfl watchable. Just look how people talk Antonio Brown. He didnt start his career off like that. Hes had so many MAJOR concussions that it permanently mesed him up. And society makes fun of him for it. Very shitty of football fans
So he showing Lamar on purpose or I’m tripping lol 😂🤬

Totally different
It was fun
Andrew Beck returned a punt. Can that revive the position?
Different
@@babarazamsuckshow Tf is gonna change it
If they let the defense hit recievers and qbs like back in the day then the rb will be important again.

How about that shit absolutely 💯
@JAMuUP it's a soft scripted league now and people still watch it. They will still watch it when it is two hand touch 7 on 7.
That’s why I like college better
Getting rid of FBs was the beginning
yup
Are there none?
@@Kai-lp5ejThere are a couple but most teams don’t carry one.
The cause of this drop is rule changes that favor passing, running backs being to only position than can legally take hits, which results in less offensive value and shorter careers. Just not worth investing in and it’s not the runnings backs faults
The simplest position on the field as well. You could have RBs switch teams just before kickoff and not notice much of a difference.

The NFL is not the same as it once was, college football is fucking lit and going to be even more hype once we go to a 12 team playoff next year.
When you have baby safeties like that steelers safety who attacks knees in tackles.. yea, I'd say the running back is a liability.
If the Owner's don't want to pay them 10-15 mil a year fine. Then a RB's contract must be fully guaranteed.
There are way too many RBs across America in high school- this move can’t be made without a great cost

Won’t be eliminated….just paid accordingly. The RB salary would be just above a punter, kicker,etc…4-5 million per year for the top RBs
When they do that watch how many qbs goin to struggle and get injured
I see more teams taking wide receivers like Debo Samuels and packaging him on running plays
Deebo is rare most wr's ain't going to last very long doing that
Bro add like 25 years for the RB cuz I'm tryna go to the NFL

Big power backs should be used in the open field, were the defensive is soft.
The rub position is a big part in football as they can carry the momentum if the passing game is starting to fail them.
It’s because these guys need 17 a year guaranteed to “feed their families”😑
Bullshit! Team that rushes the most still wins 95 percent of the time.

They just gonna pass? Na, RB isn’t going anywhere
It's a free market system. It's the going rate. It is what it is. RB position aint going any where.
Theyre not going to ban the position, good grief...there will always be a rb/tb/hb/fb in football
If they do this it would cause pass attempts to go up, then violent hits and concussions would go up. It would not be good for the safety of the players. Not thrat the NFL gives a shit about the quality of life of the men who make the nfl watchable. Just look how people talk Antonio Brown. He didnt start his career off like that. Hes had so many MAJOR concussions that it permanently mesed him up. And society makes fun of him for it. Very shitty of football fans
