People like me keep trying to point out that scheme is more important than backs in general. If you have a good running scheme, the back doesn't matter and recent history shows paying backs large sums of money doesn't work out all that well. I get it people don't like letting good players leave but HB is one of those positions you are better off doing so if the only other option is a large contract.
Will you have the best back in the league if you don't pay one? Probably not, but you don't need the best back in the league to win.
Preach it, Au.
I am firmly in the "if your RB isn't Barry Sanders, don't pay them" camp.
Use that saved money on your line and a good OC and who the RB is won't really matter (unless they're Barry Sanders, lol).
