It happened pretty quick.
It's over the last five years where we've decided Super Bowl MVP at running back, who is somebody who gets more than 10 yards a carry.
The running back becoming disposable is something that's happened over the last seven years, I'm going to say.
The point that I made earlier, though, about the alterations in worth.
Jalen Phillips...
Older than Kenneth Walker.
Body more broken than Kenneth Walker.
Getting more than $100 million from Carolina.
Again, older than Kenneth Walker.
And you guys are saying, eh, big deal, four years in the league.
Jalen Phillips, with his body in that condition at 26, being older than Kenneth Walker, and getting three times the contract that the Super Bowl MVP was, I understand that you guys are now immune to how much the running back position has been devalued.
I'm making my assessments on Kenneth Walker, not as the Super Bowl MVP.
It's how good he was at Michigan State.
He got Mel Tucker!
more millions than he just got from kansas city because michigan state was carried by kenneth walker and his rugged running style and i'm still a little startled by how quickly we make these guys disposable and i tell you this as someone who was wrong for several years on highly questionable because i was willing
To pay Todd Gurley.
I was willing to pay Ezekiel Elliott.
I was willing to pay Dalvin Cook.
I got left behind by how that sport changed all of its salaries.
