Bro, I just want to say that you were right.

The ETN pick in the 1st round should have been the moment Baalke was fired. 

I was too much of a homer to admit it.  But ETN was the dumbest pick we've made since...  Well since the other dumb picks we've made.  But you were right.  ETN was a terrible pick, and that alone should have gotten Baalke fired by someone that really knows how to draft players.

Thank you for that. I was listening to Hacker and some guest talk a few nights ago about how this is the year the RB is coming back since Henry and Barkley are doing so well, but I think that's premature. Those two RBs are unlikely to even be playing in the Super Bowl, much less winning it. Even teams like the loins who invested 1s in their backs and are doing well are still running a platoon most of the time. Maybe it will change as defenses get lighter and lighter for the passing game, but I don't think it's imminent.
