I think those teams have been trying.

In this day in age, there's simply no excuse for not walking into the season with two good running back options. They're not hard to find. The Steelers have twice tried to make things work with Jonathan Dwyer, a RB so bad that he was cut and nobody picked him up. And even in terms of the first effort, a washed out Steven Jackson, Brown, and Bell... those aren't names that exactly pop off the page.
You saw what a night and day difference Laveon Bell made for the Steelers. And he's not even all-world. If your team has a game manager, it should be common sense that running back should be one of your top priorities, and it's not a hard position to find.
