Doh, I just realized you didn't specify which way you thought it was stupid. It's the third lowest, above only safety and TE (didn't count kicker!). I think it's slotted way wrong, compared to the importance to a team.
I was referencing the devaluation of the position. The franchise number is (if I remember) the average of the top 5 at the position. Besides AP and Maybe Lynch, what RBs are valued at over $10 MM per year? I'm not sure any should be over $6-7 MM right now.

There almost seems to be fewer dependable RBs than there are dependable QBs, although I figure that's actually impossible.
