I'm not saying a RB is never worth taking that high. I guess I just follow the thinking that a great QB can make an avg line/RB appear to perform better, a great line can make an avg QB/RB appear to perform better, but a great RB canNOT make an avg QB/line appear to perform better.

So of the 3, the RB is the most ineffectual for the other 2.

I follow. I just think of it as one of those things where everyone states the same mantra and it results in an over-correction. Kind of like how a bunch of people can say "Player X is so underrated"...fast forward a few months and suddenly, he's overrated (h/t to Simmons).
