You could make an argument that he's the best running back in the league (a very flimsy argument, IMO), but there's absolutely no way he's that much better than every other running back in the league. That's an insane contract, and Daniel Snyder has just damned his team to cap hell for a long time. There are about 10 elite running backs in the league, and another 10 or so that, given playing time in a good system, could probably reach that level. It's crazy to spend that much on a position that has that much depth of talent league-wide.
