What would Cleveland's record be this year with Chubb?
Would Minnesota be in the playoffs without Cook?
Would the Saints have had their recent resurgence without the addition of Kamara??
Would we have won ANY games without Mixon???
I agree, Mixon shouldn't be paid as much as some of the top RBs, simply because its too much. However, to disregard the impact of a great running back seems naive.
I think we're all in agreement that running backs are definitely important, but there's also another similarity between all of the guys you mentioned...
They're all on rookie contracts.
Cheap running backs are like QB's on rookie contracts. They help you pay the premiums that the other positions cost. You use them for the length of their contract, usually four years, let them hit the market and have some other team pay, then go after another player to use at RB.
