Default Re: Value of positions in football?

the Broncos are actually a clear example of how unimportant RB can be. their 5 o lineman/schemes have been so good that the RB hasn't mattered that much.

You missed my point. They change RB so often that you can guage what effect a good RB has by being in their system.

By putting T.Davis into their system, you squeezed an extra 800 yards out of their o-line.

Bad RB: 1000-1200 yards (Anderson, Gary)
Passable RB: 1500 yards (Portis)
Good RB: 2000 yards (Davis)

It's hard to know what % of a RB's yards is the RB, and what % is the o-line. Is Shaun Alexander good because he's good, or because Walter Jones is good? Of course it's both, but it's hard to know what the breakdown is.

With TD, you can see exactly what the breakdown is. TD is worth an extra 500 yards over Clinton Portis, a guy who is considered a top echelon RB (but really isn't).

if you honestly think that a WR is most important than a QB, then you're crazy.

Of course I don't. I've already posted exactly what I feel the rankings are. I'm not sure how you got this idea.

I'm simply saying that WR, like the other skill positions (RB, CB) are crucial to a team's success.
