Todd Gurley has oft been used as a primary example for why running backs don’t matter and as of late, why you should avoid paying them as much as top flight players at other positions. Gurley was perhaps the first top-10 pick of this era to be controversial simply because he was a running back, he struggled in two of his five seasons, and towards the end of 2018, his injury opened the door for C.J. Anderson to walk in off the street and rush for 422 yards in a three-game span.
But what about the argument if your bias is for the other narrative?
