I didn’t like RB at four, but it’s year two of his rookie deal. He has time to earn his keep yet.
If he’s back for the Steelers game and runs well, much will be forgiven.

I know a lot of people were convinced last season he was the reason the team was good, but the results really seem to indicate he's a non factor so far, and it's actually been about the rest of the team's (especially the defense's) improvement. Plus if Mahomes continues to be as good as he's been so far he'll the next guy in a long list of great QBs that the Jaguars passed on for a non factor player. Essentially unless Mahomes falls on his face the fournette pick has become unforgivable. And, yeah, I know that here in the board we didn't know he'd be the next Aaron Rodgers, but none of us are getting paid millions of dollars a year to figure that out, either. I think NFL GM's should be held to a higher standard than "a bunch of amateurs that don't get to study players as their job didn't realize it either."
