But there are other points you are making where you're missing the point entirely!

At the end of the day, when we traded Robinson, I was shocked by it, but I didn't think it was that big a deal because I assumed Hasty and Snoop would take up the slack.  But that's not what has happened.  ETN is being asked to be the work horse.  And, bro, ETN for how great a RB he is, isn't going to last 3 years as the work horse.  You know it.  I know it.  The American people know it.

And yes, ETN is currently a fumble machine.  4 fumbles in 11 games???  That's unacceptable for your work horse RB.  You know it.  I know it.  The American people know it.  As a work horse RB you should be fumbling more than 1 or 2 times per season.  ETN's ball protection is absolutely an issue.   https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/running...umble-2022  Notice how the #1 fumbler isn't even in the NFL anymore.  ETN is in the 2nd tier of RBs but he's one of the highest fumblers.  Dude, it's important.  His fumble against the Lions can very well be seen as a momentum changer.  Let's not act as those a RB fumbling so much is not a big deal.  

With everything else you mentioned, I hear ya.  You are right.  Baalke decided that Robinson was expendable.  Then after Baalke traded him, he realized he messed up and picked up Henderson.  I feel like you're ignoring certain facts in order to be OK with getting rid of Robinson.  

Robinson was never an all pro.  But he was a very good RB.  And we pushed him out too early.  That's all I'm saying.  We could have used him this season.  And based on how we have utilized (or did not utilize) Hasty and Snoop, while also picking up a Henderson on Waivers tells me that a mistake was made and Baalke was trying to fix it.

I went back and looked at JRob's stats. 1st year, 3 fumbles, last year, 4, so maybe it's best we don't have him coaching ETN up  

You're right, JRob was a very good RB. Currently, he is not.

Can you provide the link?  I provided a link for you.  I'd love to see the number of rush attempts Robinson had versus the attempts ETN had during their rookie years.  The yards per rush versus fumbles will also be important.  And then the Yards per Game.

I'm so happy you are interested in actually determining whether or not Robinson's trade was a smart move!  

I look forward to the link you used.
