If course it is. If your team can be better why wouldn't you want it to be better? If there was a fourth or fifth round back that could give us 90% of what Etienne does but we also get a player at another position that gives us 30 or 40% more than the guy at that position right now, would you still rather have a 10% better pass catching running back (a relatively low impact position) or significantly better offensive lineman, linebacker, or receiver?

I'm just saying, having one player make another player look better than he actually is is usually considered a good thing, not a bad thing.

Now if you think we should have drafted another player that's a different subject.  But to say that Trevor Lawrence making Travis Etienne look better than he actually is is a problem... that just doesn't compute.  

It's pretty much a nonsensical statement.  Would you say for example that the problem with James Worthy was that Magic Johnson made him look better than he actually was?  That was a problem?  Wouldn't that be the opposite of a problem?   

Maybe you mean it's a problem for our opponents.  That I would agree with.
