I'm not sure why you think that "backs from another era" are more likely to be system backs. The great RBs could do things that other RBs couldn't. They achieved results that were unexpected given the support they had.
My first post talked about a strategy for the RB position that holds the probability of a better outcome. The question to be asked: How likely is it that Alexander will continue to perfrom at the level he has over the past five seasons ---especially if his big contract prohibits the team from re-signing an offensive lineman, Hutchinson for example?

Okay, I think you have my quote twisted just a little....I was saying the backs from the other era aren't system backs like the ones of today.
I think the probability of Alexander continuing at this pace is unlikely, however.
