Running backs are a dime a dozen, just draft another in the 3rd round or later this April to pair with SS.

I see your point and partially agree. But, let's not go overboard here with the generalizations.
A ~30 year old running back with 411 career touches is no Ahman Green (2390 touches, 1909 touches at age 29), Fred Taylor (2714 touches, 1862 at age 29), or Duece McAllister (1663 touches, 1538 at age 29).
