While it's always nice to have the best RB in the league, not only was Ware wasn't going to be that, I think most of us have come to understand that RB is one of the most replaceable "next man up" positions on the field. Not to diminish what a great RB can bring to the team, I just agree with the folks who seem to be suggesting that the talent and ability gap between the league's best and average RBs is very small. I'll also say that while most of the players are probably around the same ability point, perhaps the team's system plays into their relative success.

Look at Denver's 1-cut-and-go system... Almost every RB was successful in that system. Add some unethical blocking techniques the Donks all but perfected, and their system was all the more effective as other team's defensive players were simply trying to survive those meant-to-maim techniques.

So let's hope I'm right and "the next man up" can be something closer to JC in his pre-knee days.
