    Yeah. To me, for the most part, you get a guy who is NFL caliber and you hand him the ball and stuff happens and mostly success depends on the scheme and blocking and complimentary talent, with some being a bit better than others. Which could probably be said of every position outside of QB. And yet some players at every position transcend scheme. I just think that is less the case at RB. I'm not denying it exists. I just think the gap between those transcendent guys and the other guys isn't as wide in the actual impact on winning and producing (or preventing) points. And yeah, like you mentioned, shelf life.

    That's not true at all, or if it is it describes every position but QB. There are plenty of difference makers at RB. The bigger issue with the investment is probably this shelf life issue. Where a lineman, QB, or WR can dominate into their 30s, RB as a while will give you less years on average. without even getting into shelf life, i think we have enough weak spots that adding a 1st round talent at one of them will have much more of an impact than taking snaps from langford and carey and giving them to zeke elliot will. or maybe PFF is right and langford sucks ass and then i'm completely wrong.

    i just think there's like 1 RB in football who is a real difference maker to the point that he's that much better than the guys who you could otherwise have play there. It's not a thing worth chasing.
  11. David
    I think going from the worst LB corps to one of the best in the league is going to have a lot more of an impact than the perception seems to be, whatever your opinion on the actual importance of the position may be.
  12. David
    Does it? Fox teams are notorious for doing the multi-back thing. Don't know anything about Loggains.

    I'd say sufficient coverage in football meanseason a lot. Merely not sucking at every spot is a pretty big deal. Then you play to the strengths of whoever your star players are. They've done quite a bit already to improve O and D, but a third CB and S, and probably a DL (depending on your view of the 2014 guys) are pretty big needs to meet the sufficient threshold on D. Or OLB because while Houston and Young areaders sufficient they'll be gone soon. Yes, it means a lot. It's why the Bears were a respectable 6-10 and not a pitiful 4-12. But they weren't a good offense and need lots of help. They have coverage, but they need impact on both sides of the ball. This offseason has had a lot of people obsessed with defensive improvements and ignoring the offense and it is baffling to me. The offense needs better players. The defense didn't have "sufficient coverage" in the vast majority of spots.

    I'd like to see the Sox do well and make the playoffs.

    it's also worth noting that zach miller graded out really horsefeathering well last year i'm not a big believer in injury prone-ness (in most cases, I think it's purely bad luck - unless it's basically the same injury/issue being aggravated over and over or something), but he definitely has as solid a case as any for being an example of that...so whatever. EDIT - This was from PFF's top free agent TE's
  16. David
    kevin white resembles an offensive difference maker, especially behind one of the best WR in the league. i don't know if he is one, but he definitely resembles one about as much as a rookie with zero snaps can

    I would really hate drafting a RB in the first round. I just don't like it.
  18. David
    i am not

    I love it, because they are still this much worse than us, despite inexplicable things like Hazelbaker donging and Almedys Diaz being the best hitter in baseball. What happens when Almedys Diaz is no longer the best hitter in baseball? or when anthony rizzo has a babip higher than .120 to go with his consequently deflated .940 OPS
  21. David
    I was about to make the exact same thread about the exact same thing
