RBs dont make good RBs, OLs make good RBs

I'm serious.

The Mike Shanahan Broncos proved you can put your average pizza guy behind a dominant o-line and get 1000 yards from him. It's being proven again this season.

Look at the Raiders, Darren McFadden is having a dominant season and he goes down and Micahel Bush comes in and continues to dominate like he was the best kept secret in the league. Your gonna expect me to believe a guy like Chris Ogbannaya of the Browns could come to Tennessee and be productive? No chance.

Detroit has the same story, Javhid Best is having a good season, he goes down and the third string runningback Kevin Smith steps in and he looks like a pro bowler out there.

My point is, the runningback position in the NFL is a DIME A DOZEN. You can find a serviceable one anywhere you look. I would bet anything and everything that if guys like Kevin Smith, Michael Bush, Chris Ogbannaya, or Ben Tate came and played for Tennessee they wouldn't be putting up anywhere near 4.0 yards per carry. And for some of you to suggest Chris Johnson is done when he's running behind this joke of an offensive line is ridiculous. Give CJ the monster truck size holes Demarco Murray and Lesean McCoy are getting and he'd be atop the league rushing as well.

We never should have paid a runningback that much money, especially when the offensive line makes the back, not the other way around.

 

I fully believe there are 14 or 15 other runningbacks in the league right now who could have gotten 2000 yards behind that o line..
