In other words, a mediocre RB can look like a superstar when he has the right blocking, and a superstar RB can look like shit when the guys in front of him don't block worth a damn.

That's not to say that there's no difference between a Charcandrick West and a Jamaal Charles, but there are far more important positions when it comes to making an offense perform than the RB position.
Keysor is right, of course. It's a team game ...

To me, it's the dual-threat aspect of the position that has changed everything from economic value to on-the-field contribution ... guys who catch the ball are more diva-like than the hammerheads of yore.
