I think you could argue this about most running backs on most teams. Most of them are only as good as their offensive linemen and many benefit from a good QB (fewer stacked boxes, etc.).
Your Petersons, Sanders, Browns, and Paytons, who would be great on any team, are few and far between.

There are very few RB's that put up great numbers that don't run behind great OL's.
I think you can apply this to Ingram and Richardson from bama. They both had fantastic college careers, but have struggled in the NFL, and the OL's they've been running behind haven't been bad by any means. Lacy is the best of all of the three in the NFL to date, and had the "worst" best year of all of them. They all ran behind some very strong bama OL's.
