I know the totals are not exciting, but whole point of ETN being "worth" a high pick is the efficiency meaning big plays, so lots of a yards from few touches.

JR has 289 touches last year for 4.8 yards a play. Sure that is pretty good for a RB. 

So my number are on the low side, but if could get you somewhere near 1000 yards at 10 yards a touch, that would be worth it. But I'm not sure any RB/WR hybrid has ever produced that.

Robinson did that on arguably the worst Offense in the league though. I wanna say I remember seeing a stat that we played from behind (in score) more than any team in the league, besides the Jets. This was months and months ago though so I could be wrong, but we were basically #1 or #2 in playing from behind in points iirc.

I think we are arguing past each other.

I'm not arguing ETN is a replacement for JR or will be better than him. The whole "reasoning" for ETN is because he supposedly can create big plays, like 20+ yard runs or catches.

JR is great for what he is, a chain mover. But he only had five 20-yard runs, one 40-yard run, and two 20-yard catches. That is basically on the same level as David Montgomery. It is nice, but doesn't really scare a defense.

Just because he was on the worst offense that was always behind doesn't really matter. If anything with more space/prevent defenses playing the pass, JR could have had more big plays.

I'm just trying to move this past the whole ETN vs JR debate which is pointless. The goal is to have both on the team and hopefully even on the field at the same time.
