What Is The #1 RB in the Country Worth to UM?
Some Ole Miss fans have bought into the narrative that Freeze fired Werner because Cam Akers was unsure about how the RB position was used in their offense & that bringing in a new OC that knew how to run the football is Freeze's last ditch effort to land Cam Akers.
Now, we all know that this narrative is 100% loony, delusional, ridiculous, & the epitome of burying ones head in the sand. However, lets put all that aside for just a moment & take the narrative at face value.
How much is the #1 running back in the country worth in terms of firing assistants & altering the offense to fit his skill set?
- Over the past 3 years, Ole Miss' offense has finished 31st, 10th, & 54th in the country in total offense
- In the NFL, RBs make on average the least amount of money of any position group, even behind kickers & punters. Short careers equal a lack of investment.
- Bucky Brooks of NFL.com ranks running backs as the 7th most important position on the field.
- Bleacher Report ranks the RB as the 11th most important position in the NFL.
- During Leonard Fournette's (Who is more talented than Cam Akers) 3 year career at LSU, the Tigers, who are far more talented position for position than Ole Miss, finished 7-4, 9-3, & 8-5.
Look, we'd all love to have Cam Akers on our team, but how many staff & schematic changes would be appropriate to make for a RB?
Would it be dumb for a coach to fire an OC to acquire a RB?
Wondering what some of the coaches on the board would do?
