They are the same in size. How else are they so similar? 

One came out of school with insanely prolific production. 
One had a fraction of the production. 

One has shown an ability to make guys miss.
One is is a "one cut and hit the next guy hard" runner.

I think they see Conner as their power back, JR as their early downs guy, and Etienne as a 3rd down and scat/gadget player.

Similar size, Similar speed and similiar play style. Snoop Conner is a young rookie getting paid peanuts, JR is going to be a free agent next season. Obviously what I said is pure speculation, but I don't think it's insane to think they may have looked at Conner as a possible replacement for JR rather than shelling out a large contract to a back..
