I understand what you're saying and time after time, people use the patriots as an example of what you can and should do. I can't follow that model until you give me Brady and Belichick, You are talking about two of the greatest of all time in many respects. These two can do anything and yes, they can be beat by teams who don't have the equivalent.
It's not just the Patriots....
Show me the last elite RB that won a Super Bowl. The most you can give is Lynch, but he was not "Beast mode" for most of the playoffs and certainly not the Super Bowl.
For over a decade now, teams have won with just good backs or a committee approach. Elite RBs are a dying breed, I have no idea why there is this weird sudden resurgence the last couple of years that scouts believe taking an RB in the top 5 will be worth it. None of these dudes ever get rings.
