So he showing Lamar on purpose or I’m tripping lol 😂🤬

Throwing shade at Lamar lol

They did this with the fullback. Man I miss old school football. Mike alstott

If they let the defense hit recievers and qbs like back in the day then the rb will be important again.

Thanks a lot Todd Gurley

At this point the nfl should just re brand as a national 7 on 7 league cause it's clear the league could care less about playing actual american football

The cause of this drop is rule changes that favor passing, running backs being to only position than can legally take hits, which results in less offensive value and shorter careers. Just not worth investing in and it’s not the runnings backs faults

Every kid that's in college any High School that plays running back should be trying to change their position ASAP

There are way too many RBs across America in high school- this move can’t be made without a great cost

If the Owner's don't want to pay them 10-15 mil a year fine. Then a RB's contract must be fully guaranteed.

It’s not even possible to get rid of the running back position

Bro add like 25 years for the RB cuz I'm tryna go to the NFL

I don't think that they're going to go away from the position I think that a lot of teams going to a one-two punch where they will use 2 running backs that keep your back feel fresh and everyone healthy

Getting rid of FBs was the beginning

They can't do that. Can't just get rid of a position that makes football football

Very few running backs are like the running backs of the past. They are now underappreciated wide receivers. Football is not the same as it once was. Sad😢!

Bro who remembers the Era where Marshawn was a valued and if he came back he will probably be under payed

Mike Leach has completely taken over football. There is a use for an RB in this system, just not what it used to be. you need a relatively fast guy who can run, block, and catch equally well.

A great running back was the KEY to a top offense back in the old days,now it is almost the opposite

I see more teams taking wide receivers like Debo Samuels and packaging him on running plays

The rub position is a big part in football as they can carry the momentum if the passing game is starting to fail them.

They can't eliminate the position,but if RBs want there respect and value back become your name again RUNNING BACK. Owners and coaches forget not to many years ago when RBs wasn't utilized as PASS CATCHERS. Teams literally carried a 3rd down back who was a tweener. So basically if the players get back to the old school RB contracts of carries/rushes over how many touches they get and put a ridiculous number for catches incentives problem solved

You don’t really need a true RB. You could use a receiver as a third down back kinda guy and use a linebacker as a goal line back if you wanted to 😂 imagine Patrick Willis as an RB at the time hahahhaa

When you have baby safeties like that steelers safety who attacks knees in tackles.. yea, I'd say the running back is a liability.

When they do that watch how many qbs goin to struggle and get injured

If they take out running backs I’ll most likely quit watching football cause they are one the most exciting positions to watch to me

Runningback is one of the best positions they should not take it out

It's like cutting the flow of water. They phased out the fullback, and the running back position relys a good amount on that lead blocker to clear the gap. The best way to fix it: Make rookie deals for running backs 3 year max (so they either sign them again for a higher contract or go to another team, if their any good). Have a max number of shotgun and pistol formation plays by an offense in a game.

Why are you showing Lamar Jackson in this video? Was this done accidentally? I think not, and it's disrespectful!!

Barkley is a great example of why they cant get paid. Two great years out of five and already closer to the end of his career than the start. Maybe 3 more productive years left and of those three how many will be as good as last year? Probably none.

Imagine a QB only dropping back with the option of them running or throwing. No blocking back. You can only RPO yourself. I assume that they would move that position onto the line as a highbred guard/massive TE. Defensive lines would be blitzing the entire game. That means the quarterback will have the evolved into basically a 6' foot 5 sprinter. What a gun of an arm.

What's the real reason?

Thanks to Zeke and gurley. They ruined it for everyone.

If they do this I’m done I’m not gonna watch NFL no more

They cant get rid of running backs, the worst thatll happen is its like fb where most teams just dont have one

Lmaoo bruh wym “eliminate” its still used, just low pay. Delusional.

There’s a fine line You are crossing it

I like the rub position I would be sad if they took it out

Man I'd boycott the league and let's see how the league does and if anyone tries to play running back do them like the mob did back in the day swim with the fishes we love the running backs

It’s over just call the position w/b wide back back who can run but outside can play out wide.

How the runningback position without destroying your entire offense though? Eliminating the runningback position will make way more difficult to complete passes

The top running backs in the league are not Hall of fame level. There is a reason no one isn’t throwing cash out bc there isn’t generational talent right now.

Why show Lamar????

Yea I like how whoever did this keeps showing Lamar...😮‍💨 (it's really cool under the shade, huh?)

Just because teams are finding running backs who will do the job for less money does not mean that they will completely eliminate the running back position

Nfl needs a position cap so rbs can get paid !!

How is teams not giving rb’s huge contracts equate to the league is getting rid of the position?? I bet the backs still make way more $ than they deserve

It wouldn't make sense because at the highschool and younger level, they can't throw the ball consistently. They run the ball on 90% of plays in highschool and younger. So if they take out runningbacks, the youth will take the hardest hits

The N.F.L. maybe trying to model the game off of Arena Football. But if they do fans would be upset, ratings will tank, may even go out of business.

Why you keep showing Lamar Jackson tho ?

Okay, that doesn't even make sense. Teams still run the ball. It's not like they're fullbacks who don't get utilized anymore. There's still 3-4 RBs on every roster.

The not so subtle Lamar Jackson disrespect as if he never led the league in PASSING Touchdowns before.

They can blame the past RB’s for this. Christian mcCaffrey, zeke elliot, Todd gurley. All players that secured the bag and didn’t do anything after but leave teams with major regrets. The RB class needs to look in the mirror and accept their faults.

Just pictured that the running back position not being available is the quarterback going to pass run😂😮 make it make sense

Well when u want 20-30 mil a year it’s kinda asking for a lot getting 10-15 mil a year is still insane contracts compared to the avg contract in the early 2000s

Having a bell cow stud running back is worth the fan revenue

It’s not value anymore because QB these days are becoming dual threats.

Pure stupidity smdh 😔😔😒... There goes majority of football excitement plays & exciting players 🥱 this is when volleyball becomes my interesting 😢.. some stuff is better left untouched plzzzzz !!!!

That's so sad. My kids will never see an NFL with running back greatness like Marshawn Lynch's beast-quake, Barry Sanders' finesse or Marion Barber going across the field just to hit someone on the way to a touchdown. Running backs are a staple of American football and they can't ban that position. If they do, the NFL will never be the same. 😢

Raiders are wasting Josh Jacobs away they should’ve just traded him. He’s worth a first for sure but I know a team had two 2nd rounders and a player for them at least. He’s a beast and still young.

There not getting rid of rbs ridiculous it’s not that serious they just don’t want to pay them

I don't watch football anymore anyway, more specifically the NFL. I only watch football games Coach Prime is apart of coaching, other than that I don't watch football at all.

Don't let this be true. 32 one dimensional teams would fucking suck.

RBs need a buff. How about they can't get tackled between the first yard from scrimmage in both directions (so rbs can't get TFLed unless it's more than a yard away from scrimmage and they basically get guaranteed one yard) How OP is this buff?

I hope realize that this is just a way to get people talking. The position is still valuable just like all the positions in football. Teams just learning their lesson to not break the bank for a RB. They've been burned to many times is recent memory and they have no insentive anymore to recent the RB market for no reason.

Thank Ezekiel for that over paid for nothing

I’m a running back😭

That’s messed up putting Lamar in there

WRs are hurt just as much as RBs😂 this is silly

Rb have an average of 2 seasons. That's why

I doubt it, but they may be a bit too heavy

Pretty soon their going to take the Quarterback position out🤷🏾‍♂️

So Derrick Henry already a qb got it. Man’s a size of a bulder

Theyre not going to ban the position, good grief...there will always be a rb/tb/hb/fb in football

The league is just running the money down and get rid of some high contracts. They can't get rid of the RB position because you need a body to block and provide an immediate out if the QB needs it.

They just gonna pass? Na, RB isn’t going anywhere

Showing lamar at rb.😂 but hes one of the highest paid players in the league😮

They Sure Didn't Mind Paying CHRISTIAN Mc CAFFREY. Hmm I Wonder Why ?

That would make the game so boring ngl

Just make RBs not affect the salary cap or something

Well there goes fantasy football

They Will Do The Same Thing With Q B s As Soon As A Few More BLACK QB s Get To The Super Bowl .

Linebackers will be gone as well.

ban, nope, running back position is not gonna ban ever

Flag football fam. Don't say it won't happen when men are having babys🫃🤦‍♂️

Well maybe they should just kind of exempt them from the rookie contract. Don't force them to go through the fifth year or be franchised. Maybe for a running back after 2 years on their rookie contract, they can negotiate and not be put on a franchise tag.

The RB position is important just like every other position they have to run like a well oiled machine. A good RB sets up the pass , play action etc.. a strictly passing league just wouldn’t be very appealing! They need to be paid they get serious contact almost every play they touch the ball sacrifice their bodies !

This VID COMES FROM A FAN WHO NEVER PLAYED FOOTBALL 💯 WITHOUT RB ALOT OF QB PASS YARDS WOULDN'T BE AS HIGH..WHO GOING TO PICK UP THE BLITZ IN THE BACKFIELD..YOU HAVE TO RUN AT SOME POINT YOU CAN'T PASS THE WHOLE GAME.

What is the end goal what are they trying to eliminate the running back for. Are they trying to make the game faster making it a more passing exclusive game

In 5 years they'll come back around when d fences forget how to to tackle them

It’s not that RBs aren’t valuable. It’s that they are replaceable. It’s hard to win a ring without a great qb, and great QBs don’t need great running backs most of the time. So why pay huge money to a great rb when you can get solid players at the position in days 2 and 3 of the draft? It’s not like guys like Saquon aren’t getting offers, he was offered 10-11 million a year according to most accounts. He just isn’t getting the deal he wants.

Running Back is a Stupid Position, Why Run through a Group of Fatties , When you can Line up in the Slot And have better chance of getting a release.

Well, to be fair, what do we expect? I mean, which of us would think it wise to drop $30+ million/YEAR on a RB... Just to watch them get injured (within the 1st 2 years of their career(s)). Look at Barkley. When he was on that one body temp Science show, he was being touted as a potential Bo Jackson redux. I'll stop myself before going in on the topic of recent QB pay debacles lOl. Point is, at the end of the day, it's a sport & some folks are somewhere between greedy & no knowing how to Fairly calculate their True worth. How about Lineman? How much do they make? Especially Center's; they take INSANE amounts of Damage *&* are (essentially) the Gate Keepers of the entire actual sporting event.

If they do this it would cause pass attempts to go up, then violent hits and concussions would go up. It would not be good for the safety of the players. Not thrat the NFL gives a shit about the quality of life of the men who make the nfl watchable. Just look how people talk Antonio Brown. He didnt start his career off like that. Hes had so many MAJOR concussions that it permanently mesed him up. And society makes fun of him for it. Very shitty of football fans

Or just keep RB’s and pay them less. You can get them cheap as Free Agents out of College or Draft them 5th-round or later. Most don’t last longer than 4-years because it’s a brutal position

QB's r the new RB's

That's gonna be my position

I'm not buying it. There are plenty of rbs fine with 5,6 7, 9 mill salary. James white from pats, perfect example. Compare teams that overpay these rbs vs ones who don't Who wins more

They're going to have wildcat position with 2 running qbs.

It's a free market system. It's the going rate. It is what it is. RB position aint going any where.
