Daily News | The Eagles’ trade for D’Andre Swift shows how the Bijan Robinson truthers need cognitive restructuring
The time has come for fans who overvalue running backs — the Bijan Robinson truthers, if you will — to undergo cognitive restructuring. Despite the efforts of some to end this transgenerational thinking, against the will of media gaslighters, the flawed idea that significant resources should be devoted to the position persists.
But they’ve blindly ignored the signs for decades, lambasted Andy Reid and Joe Banner when they were ahead of the curve, and failed to see that in the modern-day salary cap era allocating significant resources to a position that has a comparatively short shelf life isn’t good business.Roseman has made his share of mistakes over the years. He has had his blindspots in terms of roster building.
Clearly, there are teams that place great value upon the position. Eagles fans should be happy their team doesn’t. The argument here isn’t that Robinson and Gibbs aren’t first-round talents, or not likely to become excellent NFL players. It’s one of value and percentages and who you draft vs. who you could have drafted.
“We really are happy with our running back room. This was just another great piece to add,” Sirianni said. “But you can definitely see [Swift’s] ability to make people miss in space and you saw it against our defense last year.” To say that Roseman disregards the running back position would be erroneous. He has made numerous moves — some of his most inventive — to upgrade the spot. The Eagles might not have won Super Bowl LII without the free agent signing of LeGarrette Blount and the trade for Jay Ajayi.
There was also a cogent enough argument for choosing him — maybe not at No. 10 but later in the first — built around the likelihood that Hurts will have to become less of a plus-one factor in the run game as he gets older and considering his worth.
