I'll preface by saying I'm against drafting a RB in the first round in general & certainly not 4th overall. RBs are a dime a dozen and they have an average to below average shelf life. League average is 3.3 years. RBs are averaging 2.57 years. That's the lowest of any position.Get at me about WRs trending the same way, but that's another subject.
Also, I'm not a huge fan of extending a RBs contract, but that goes back to not drafting them early and feeling like you are married to them.
So the facts are that most play under 3 years. If a RB is a position of need, package some later round picks.
Rant over, Elliott isn't going to be "comeback player of the year," so plan on him getting worse. It would be best to release him after this season IMO. Pollard is already over the average career year mark. It's a little concerning because he's not some real elite player. He's solid, but better in space. I like him in dump off in the flats etc.. He's OK returning. Overall great attitude and person. I like him, but he's just Ok, so after his rookie contract it would be smart to replace him.
Of course that's all well and good if you had a system & coaching that utilized RBs to begin with. I'm sick and tired of Moore to be honest. It's going on 5 years.
Crap or get off the toilet.
