The NFL pay structure is absolutely broken

[@RexDriggers-hp3he]

Fax bro every single qb no matter they good or not having a crazy big contract

[@MwKShield1]

I disagree. RBs are extremely easy to find now and it's a pass first league. No one is sticking up for fullbacks centers and long snappers. Why are running backs better than any of them especially when their load is significantly less than it was 15 years ago

[@Deondre_Clark]

@alohatigers1199 yes he's wrong. It's not easy to find A Henry or a Saquon or an Ekeler. They aren't getting paid either even though they do a lot for their teams. Everyone freaked out about Russel Wilson having his own office and acting like he was above the team last year but was he wrong? The pay structure basically says that qb is the most important position by a mile which sure it is the most important but if you have Pat Mahomes and 10 scrubs on the field that team still sucks. It's messed up that teams use up Backs in their tiny career window and never pay them what their worth when they're worth it. So yeah he is wrong and the pay structure in the NFL is wrong for everyone but QBs and ownership

[@saydaddy91]

3 things that urinatingtree did a good job of explaining. 1 a running backs production is highly dependent on the offensive lineman in front of his . 2 running backs hit a wall faster than any other position (emphasized by the fact that there has only been one back who has lead the league in rushing after he turned 31 while most receivers can last at least a few years into their 30s). And last but not least it’s is way more efficient and rewarding to pass then it is to run

[@NotMyActualName_]

It's not that crazy when the numbers pretty clearly show the gap between a league-leading RB and a late round rookie or UDFA are pretty small. Is it worth paying a guy who gets you 10TDs and 1000 rushing yards a ton of money when you can get a rookie who will get you 6TDs and 800 yards? It's a supply and demand problem. The long term solution is for players to opt out of playing RB and becomes WRs, tight ends, corners, etc. Not every position in football is highly paid. RBs are mad because they used to be one of them and they won't be going forward. This is what it's always felt like to be a kicker. You're probably your teams leading scorer. But you make maybe 1-4 million a year. Why? Because it's easy to replace kickers.

[@jamesbnkc1990]

Agreed. It saddens me because it was my favorite postion in highschool. But yes with the league moving to pass pass pass and pass again, there just isnt any value in the position anymore. The Titans are a perfect example of that. Henry is a beast. But he isnt enough to get past the big boys come playoff time. Thats why they spent money on Hopkins. If Vrabel doesn't adapt he wont be coaching much longer. Hes old school like Marty Schottenheimer but that just doesn't work anymore.

[@MonkeyMonkey03]

@@hbtCHIEFS I love your Channel and am a complete fan of you but I completely dissagree and I think that the running back position is very important. I mean look at the stats. Josh Jacobs put up more yards then Davonte Adams with just rushing if we consider passing he also put up 400 yards as the position is very important. Davonte Adams had -1 yards in rushing and could never come near to what Josh Jacobs has done even if he got 1 million attempts. The running back is a very difficult position to play and I love Davonte Adams but he does not have the skill to be a running back

[@RBMastersinc]

​@MonkeyMonkey03 But at the end of the day, those yards aren't translating into wins like it used to back in the day. So yes, the running back position by itself is dying. Now they have to be both runners and receivers in order capitalize and get bigger contracts. Even then it still may not be enough. Winning matters and high-priced running backs are not translating into wins. That's reality over the last decade.

Rb position no dying, just evolving. The game isn't calling for 3 yards and a cloud of dust any more. Rbs essentially have to be receivers that can block when needed to. Since the game is getting faster perimeter speed is needed to widen the field. They'll be RB renaissance someday.

[@Hello-816]

Fans and owners seem to be okay with a player being underpaid on rookie contract, but not being paid fairly on their second deal. Then the franchise tag is BS. It doesn't always pay market value. Players should be compensated based on production and have fully guaranteed contracts.

Fixes: 1. College RBs should only have to play one year in college before declaring for the draft. 2. RB should only have a 2-yr rookie deal regardless of where they're drafted. 3. RB should be exempt from the Franchise Tag. 4. RB contracts should NOT count against the salary cap and CANNOT be restructured. 5. ALL RB contracts are fully guaranteed.

[@nathanielsmith2341]

Why isn't anyone talking about the real Moby Dick in the room? THE SALARY CAP???? The salary cap was theoretically put in place way back when to make sure that large market teams didn't stack the deck with talent over small market teams. Back when rabbit ears were on televisions and local teams were all you could watch. Well guess what? The least expensive team in the league is the Detroit LIONS @ $2.8 BILLION. But the salary cap is still structured like we are not living in today's NFL where it has gone both global in terms of actually playing in foreign countries. And actually viewed by millions around the planet on various mediums. So why not have a salary cap that reflects that? And then teams won't have to tailor their spending power towards who might be more likely to get hurt or least used or expendable.

It's multilayered. The NCAA takes at least 3 years of their prime and then a rookie contract can last another 5 years essentially you have to stay healthy for 8 years to possibly ever see a second contract.

[@balbarith45]

They could make running backs and wide receivers a hybrid position. The Chiefs have been doing a lot of that these past few seasons and it's worked. There has been a few times where I thought to myself: "What if Tyreek Hill or Mecole Hardman took a handoff instead of a pass?"

[@spf_rift4271]

I’ll save them in about 10 years trust

[@alkavonstra5479]

I think the thought behind all of this is unfortunately a fact. The run game helps complement the pass by making the D-line stand back expecting to get hit in the face and not charging full force and gain nothing. The pass game is ultimately more rewarding, and if you gameplan using a pass oriented offense, you can have a higher ceiling - more possible scoring chances by having many receivers spread across the field. All of this leads to the "Meta game" of the NFL. It's been tested and proven that a team can win more often if it just uses a mid RB and supplies other positions with greater depth and a higher ceiling. A high tier RB is only really going to be utilized to their full potential in a true run-oriented offensive scheme, which is just not good enough anymore, and frankly hasn't been the case for a very long time. So, if you aren't going to game plan to use your highly paid position in a RB, why go out of your way to go get one?

[@ZxT-su6qe]

There really should be a cap limit for a specific position like qb should be like 100m wr should be 25m rb should be 25m etc. but instead we just give the QBs have a billon dollars and have no money for the rest of the guys

Everyone keeps saying we can just draft another rb. By that logic u can just draft another qb, wr, or any other position. We still have yet to see another guy in this league similar to Christian and Derek or even Chubb and saqoun. They all provide different skill sets. They are involved physically in more plays then the WRs but the never get paid like it. Most offenses are ran with 3 wr sets. Does this mean they are replaceable too? Like he said in the video the NFL needs to move towards incentive based contracts instead of certain positions gaining praise more than others. Some might even suggest that everyone splits the cap space in an equal manor where starters earn the most but all the same amount, 2nd teamers earn slightly less than starters but all the same amount and so on.

[@just2lazy2name]

The position has value, but the difference between top level rb and bench backs is roughly 1 yard per carry. The difference between wr1's and bench wr per target is about 6 yards. 3rd string WRs get more yards per target than RB 1s get per carry. Why pay for a top level RB when you can use the cap on a position where the skill level has more impact on the game.
