2. "Actually, the WR position is the most violent." In response to In response to 0 Mon Mar-15-21 10:20 AM by allStah
They take on the most vicious and violent hits, and they are defenseless in the air, and even after they catch the ball. The defender builds up great locomotion to take down WRs...They get to load up.
RBs are mostly tackled near the line of scrimmage, and they have more pad protection, and defenders locomotion is not as fast around the line of scrimmage.
RBs short shelf life is due to high usage, which leads to an accumulation of hits. They get run into the ground, taking on 20 plus carries a game, and by the 5th year their legs are almost toast. And it is because of that as to why they don’t get the big contracts, and they can be easily replaced compared to other positions. Plus playing the RB position doesn’t take a lot of technical skill to perform.
All the RBs in the league could go on strike, and teams would just pull some dude off the street as a filler.
They do deserve to get paid, but due to their short shelf life, they will never get big bucks similar to other positions. They don’t last long enough.
