I wouldn't trade a 1st for Jim Brown in his prime. RBs are too easy to plug and play. A good line and decent RB = 1300 yards and 15 TDs. A good RB and a decent line = 1300yards and 15 TDs. The problem is it is about 1/5 as easy to put together a decent RB since you don't have to actually assemble one. A line on the other hand takes 5 guys. And I haven't even brought up that there are a ton of decent backs in the league and available in the draft every year. The main distinction between a great deal of them is the ability to simply stay healthy for a 5 year period.
