This was an outstanding video! stats i never even considered! In my opinion, rookie contracts need to be 1 year shorter and franchise tags are legitimate contract manipulation. Tags should only be one year per player coming off rookie contract.
@patrickfiorito7 ай бұрын
Here is the fix. Limit rookie RB contracts to 2 years. It's not really fair when most are done in the league at 30. And rookie contracts need start with a higher ceiling. . The situation isn't really fair to RB.
@YosemiteJ8 ай бұрын
Yeah, Zeke and McCaffrey screwed it up for all of them. More Zeke if anyone. Cowboys reluctantly paid him a big contract, only from him to become an average RB at best after the big payday. I think the NIL will change things, causing RBs to stay in college longer and get big pay days by staying down a level.

McCaffrey didn't ruin shit hes worth every cent LMAO when hes in the field hes absolute game changer he was injured for 2 half seasons and came back just as good as ever 49ers are 15-1 with him on the field and 14 straight games with a TD 49ers aint doing no where near what they do with out his double threat of the run or coming out the back field as a receiving threat

It's pretty simple...a solid O Line = solid numbers from your RB. Therefore, if you spend big bucks on the RB, and skimp out on the O Line..that RB won't put up solid numbers.

The one thing that's completely warped about all this is that they intend to fully use up the back and yet underpay him while they do it without remorse.

in general I think the players should all receive a base salary / position and then depending on which round they were drafted (rookies) a bonus % based on a league-wide scale. No player should ever get a massive contract based solely on their college achievements - the rookie contract should be 3 years and then BASED on PLAYER PERFORMANCE - and again taking into consideration things like the strengths of the teams they played; and not based solely on performance, but should also receive incentives and/or mandatory bonuses based on WORKLOAD - there's gotta be a way to pay ea position fairly, but too often what happens is that the GM's are forced to work within cap limits and in order to keep their jobs need to save team owners $...

They need to change the rules specifically for the running back position. -NO Franchise tags. -Rookie contracts are 3yrs MAX and can be negotiated after the 2nd year. -NFL teams are allowed to go over the cap to keep their RB they drafted with 0 penalty.

The discoveries made in head trauma had a lot to do with the RB position taking a hit. In my opinion it had made the NFL a watered down product especially if you enjoy watching good defensive play. Do not forget that all those Super Bowl teams had good defenses.

1. Running backs are replaceable 2. By the time their due for an extension, most running backs have already had their best years and it will only be downhill from there. Teams aren't gambling a 5 year deal on a guy being a statistical anomaly.

The real question in my book is "why are baseball players so overpaid?" They average more, have longer careers with less deleterious health effects at retirement, and have significantly less rigorous expectations for team fitness. Its like marginally more athletic than golf...but jesus christ the pay.

It's the nature of the game. Being a great QB requires about 30% talent and 70% IQ. With an RB it's more like 90% talent and 10% IQ And that talent degrades quickly. A 22-year-old running back can run rings around most thirty-year-olds. So why sign a long-term contract with a player you know you can replace in just a few short years? It's not fair but neither is life sometimes.
@v4v8198 ай бұрын
Blame their agents... If the team can get away with paying less for a top runningback, all the more power to them... If they really want their fair share then they got to demand being paid properly or be willing to organize and sit out and pay the consequences needed to make a change... As long as they sign on the dotted line the pre-arranged amount of salary, then they got to live with that reality... They are sowing their own seeds!
@anthonyml78 ай бұрын
The problem is if they sit out / organize the teams will just go to the next running back coming out of college. Someone with fewer mileage, and willing to take any deal given to them because they'll see it like a golden ticket just to get in regardless of whats offered. What these teams are doing makes sense but that doesn't mean its right. NFL has to change the rules in some way to resolve this.
