I wanted Moore and Barmore but after those 2 I didn't feel there were many players left that would of been better than Etieene.  There where 2 elite backs in last years draft and we got 1 of them.  If Etieene can be one of the best backs  in the league It will be a great pick and I think he can.  Then if the top 100 player JRob comes back 100% we will have the best RB duo in the league.  Gonna to be fun to watch.  That's my favorite thing about the Cam resigning is he can be a mauler in the run game and was on a team when we had the number 1 run game in the league

1) Nice hyperbole, I don't think you have any concrete proof that this allegation is plausible, but go on ahead with that.

2) Gonna say this not only directed at this post, but the general mindset. Ease up on the expectations. Putting a lot of faith in a lot of eggs that haven't had time to hatch. Don't expect all-world, and you won't have to be misdirecting disappointment later on. As fans I've seen us constantly setting the bar at unattainable levels of greatness only to be let down. It's not healthy to set bars this high only to watch guys fail to make the grade.

Not saying any of what you said CANNOT happen. It's possible, but there's a whole lot still uncertain about both guys for us to be worried about best duo in the league, top 100 form, or "elite" play, however that gets deemed. I do hope they fulfill this expectation, but I certainly am not going into even underwear practice expecting them to look that otherworldly.

1) what are you talking about?


2) I said if healthy.  We already have a back that's a top 100 player so if we can add another top back to this backfield it's not that crazy and i think Etiennehas the talent to be one of the top backs lile J Rob already is, of course a differer type of back..  I didn't say that's the bar I set for them I set I think they can be that if both healthy
