ETN has won at least 2 games for us this year alone.  

You can tell what a liability RB is when you remove him and let Tank get reps...

ETN is worth is weight in gold.  I know many think there were better value options at his pick in the first round.  But, man.  when you see how ETN is carrying this offense?  

ETN is gold.  The dude is Atlas, carrying the O-Line and the the offense on his shoulders.  If he has a career similar to Mixon, he deserves a second contract.  And honestly, I think he's better than Mixon.

We know Urbz wanted KT but you have zero clue who Ballke wanted.   This was a Urbz and a Baalke pick.  RB with elite athletism when all we had at the time was JRob is absolutely a Baalke pick as well.  I'm sure Etienne was higher on Baalkes board than KT.  We have lucked out we didn't take the guy you wanted every year lol.  That's what we have lucked out on becuase we would still be at the bottom of the basement

I expected explosive plays. I didn't expect him to already be RB1 as soon as he did. It worked out.

The guys who took him didn't expect him to be an RB1 either, he was here to spell Carlos Hyde on 3rd down and run end arounds, lol.
