[QUOTE="GreenBaySlacker, post: 1094385, member: 9780"] The trench guys seem to take a few years to really grow into their prime... Other positions I've noticed that take a few years to develope rookies are CB/WR/TE... Not sure why? I assume the 20-23 year olds coming out of college are physically not fully grown yet. Few years in the NFL and they're peaking physically.... Wr/CB I think it's different reasons. The timing and chemistry takes a few years to develope and peak to where the QB and receivers have the unspoken language where one look, and they both know what's going to happen.... GB always seems to take their time developing those young guys too. Typically because we have a full rotation of WRs at all times in GB. TE seems to be included in these groups for both reasons. One reason I believe RB has b come a position that isn't valued as high as others, despite the demand for the physical beating their body's take.... One reason being everyone wants to be the star RB and score the TDs when they're younger deciding what position to play. And there for there is many RBs to choose from 10 years later when entering the pros. So supply and demand takes over..... Bit besides that main reason. I believe it's also because RBs can come in day one and be a solid contributor with not much drop off.... Meaning you can literally draft a couple 4th rounder rookie RBs and literally have a average run attack, basically on any given year..... You try that with the oline and Love will be retired before the year ends. Lol. QB is definitely one of those positions where experience pays dividends..... Joe flaco last year for the browns was a great example.... Basically I agree with your assessment, besides the RB veteran. Jacob's is the leader. Brooks is a solid veteran. If we didn't have him, then I'd agree. But as it stands, I'm thinking the RBs we have are fine. I'm quietly optimistic that Marshawn Lloyd will get the help he needed for his soft tissue injuries. Then he will come out and be the lightning to our storm. [/QUOTE]
