Actually go back and look at the past 20 SB winners, and the only elite RB'S were Terrel Davis, Faulk and possibly Lynch.
In today NFL an elite RB is not the road to success. It's about building your OL and DL, having a QB and some guys that can cover and catch.
Let's go get those guys.

I agree you are right that it doesn't have to be a RB. I think fans chase the past a little and want that Faulk/Edge to compliment Luck and Hilton. But I would argue you need playmakers or matchup problems for opposing defenses. That could come from the RB position or TE/WR. That is what we need more of in my estimate. Having a good RB that can also block back there would not be the worst thing in the world.
