Saquon - did we make the right decision?

Incredibly effective way to illustrate your point!  In the modern era, the path to the SB is no longer via a superior running game.  The last true running team to win a SB occurred more than decade ago, and even that's debatable as Seattle was also a highly effective passing team.

efficient passing game.  They had an all-time great defense (for 1-2 seasons) that year.

Before I put this out there - teams need a good running back.  They do NOT need an expensive running back.  Those don't have to be mutually exclusive but....

2022/23 - Isiah Pacheco
2021 - Sam Akers & Sony Michel
2020 - Leonard Fournette
2019 - Damien Williams
2018 - Sony Michel
2017 - Legarette Blount

I can keep going but I think you get the point.  Those are the leading rushers from the Superbowl team that year.  Without a quarterback, a running back won't get you to the top.  With a quarterback, you don't need an expensive running back.

Agreed, and there are enough "good" rb's out there to go around that you dont need to pay for a top guy.
