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.
None of those guys are on the level of Mixon, i bet they would prefer Mixon over those guys. Williams was getting trashed for the Chiefs lack of a real running game before the Super bowl and all through the season. With all do respect thats like saying you have Barry Sanders or Saquan Barkley but not willing to pay them because you hope you can find another lesser running back for cheap when the gap in talent is immense. Just picture a real running back with the lines of the teams with a lesser back that still get a few yards by default. Ijs
