We always find RB's who can be part of that committee like Robinson and Thomas. We had guys like Chris Ivory and Joquie Bell and let them walk because we were RB heavy. Almost every team in the league was into their 3-4 RB's throughout the year. Draft another with a mid round pick, bring in a veteran FA and prospect a couple undrafted FA's and we are no worse for wear. Sorry Mark but you can find your money from someone else.

Here is the thing with RBBCs, they are only going to be effective with one thing. A great QB. Meaning Brees has to do most of the work for RBBCs to spell. Other than that a RBBC will be a disaster. Look at teams that have RBBCs like the bucs, bills, dolphins, lions, pats. The pats have Brady and a defense, the lions are having a fluke year have a defense and Megatron, the bills have a defense which helped with 9-7 otherwise bad. The bucs RBBC is why they were bad and the dolphins RBBC is why they can win no more than 8 games. If we are trying to be run first, a RBBC without Brees being effective will not cut it. Ingram really this year was not in a timeshare but when PT came back, he hasn't looked the same.
