**** me, how many downs do you think we're going to have to exploit this fabulous combo without a QB?
Larry Johnson was the best thing since Jim Brown when he was here because he had a bit of bulk about him and ran through people (on occasion). We got two good seasons out of him and now he's out of the league.
Even IF Richardson is the second coming and we have the best RBBC in the league, how does that help us win games in the NFL? You can count on RBs giving you about three excellent years these days before they pop a knee ligament of just become worn out.
By the time any QB we get is good enough to let us compete, thie Richardson will either be busted, or will have pissed of to NYC or Washington for crazy money.

No one is saying we want a RB over a QB smart guy. But unless they trade UP, there won't be one there worth taking.
This isn't a debate over RB VS QB. This is a debate about RB vs wtf is left on the board. And saying a RB is going to give you only three years is reeruned. Pretty sure RB's die off around age 30, not age 23.
