Can he be successful? Sure... if we had a great offense already. Which we don't. We suck.

I don't want to tear down James Robinson just to build up Travis Etienne.  I would just say, they are both great backs.  Etienne is more of a home run hitter, and Robinson is more of a between the tackles runner.  Etienne can make an 80 yard TD.  I don't think James Robinson can do that.  

Travis Etienne will be great.  No doubt in my mind.

One of Lance Zierlein's 3 favorite picks in the first round.

"There were three very good running backs in this draft, but I felt like Etienne was the best of the lot.  [font=All-ProSans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Etienne runs with extraordinary contact balance and can play on all three downs."[/font]
