"You run the ball, destroy your body, and we'll give you like $5 million bucks over the course of 3-4 years. Cool?"
And everyone is seemingly okay with this. So do THAT.
Don't take the guy you're giving $50 million/season to and who's face is on your media guides and expose him to unnecessary punishment.
"Hey, who needs a hammer to drive this nail? I have my laptop sitting here and it weighs about the same amount. And so long as every time I hit a nail with it I hit it at juuuuust the right angle, it'll kinda drive the nail and probably won't break the screen. Oh that hammer in my pocket? Eh - I'm saving it to smash ants with so I don't wanna use it to drive nails..."
It's just so very, very dumb.

There’s a reason why no running QB (and by running I mean lots of designed runs) has won a SB since Young (I believe). Those hits take their toll and while those QBs might have a good season or two, ultimately they don’t sustain success.
I get playing in an era of greatness, but since KC drafted Mahomes and Buffalo drafted Allen I can think of only one season where Buffalo legitimately could have won the SB and that was the :13 second year.
