watching the Ravens this year has definitely helped me the appreciate the value of RBs who are actually good

More than that, the value of RBs who aren't washed.

Henry is such a unique player that I don’t know you can generalize much about him and the Titans to the rest of the nfl. Nobody else has their whole team identity tied up in running their ox of an RB 35 times a game until the defense is ground to dust and submits. But trying to argue that going from Henry to 98 year old Adrian Peterson or whatever doesn’t matter is laughable.

Respecting the run game isn't a real thing, you don't need a good running game to throw the ball successfully

People don't respect running backs anymore because they are literally expendable, like relief pitchers. You ride them to the ground for a couple years and then let them go and have them be someone elses problem. If you hit on a linebacker in the 4th round that turns into a stud you generally don't have to worry about the wheels falling off after three seasons

Agreed, although iirc ILBs have the second shortest shelf-life of any position.

Let prospects sign wherever they want, draft coaches.

agree. turn draft position into rookie salary cap space, worse teams get more to sign rookies (still have to stay under regular cap)

the thing i'll never understand is when teams have a play that has been extremely successful statistically, why dont they just keep running that same play over and over again until they win all their games

Teams do this a ton, almost any high scoring game features an offense just spamming the same play or route over and over this year basically.

These really feel apocalyptically bad watching certain service academies play, but sometimes they overcome with a fullback dive.
