I would bet that if you put Marshawn Lynch on the Giants, Steelers, or even this year's Ravens, those teams would be competing for the Super Bowl.

People are quick to point to the QB's contract as the point where the team fell apart. I point to the team giving the QB a huge contract, then ignoring the RB position.

Due to the wear and tear on the position, you just don't want to invest high amounts of resources into it.

Good RB play isn't winning any of those teams SB's alone.

It's just becoming more and more obvious that team building is alot easier when you don't have a QB taking up 13-16 % of your money.
