I can't even quite understand what you are getting at.
LF has been not great for awhile and still in the league.
Yea, you’re right he hasn’t been great since 2019 when he put up 1600+ total yards and 70 catches. Saquon Barkley also hasn’t been great for awhile (since 2019)
The point I’m getting at is NFL draft capital is not as strongly tied to fantasy production as people make it out to be. Draft capital may be strongly tied to opportunity, and opportunity is a factor in production. But in 3 years we could be very much be fading ETN just as hard as Fournette is being faded now because the Jaguars don’t use ETN like we think he will be or should be used. Maybe this opportunity doesn’t play out fantasy wise like many of you think.
My bottom line is that many people are fading Robinson too hard too soon (as if he needs more fading), AND ALSO conversely we are setting ETN up to be a monumental disappointment by assuming his arrival means JRob completely kicks the can. They can both still be productive....ETN might even be more productive (ala Fournette who has 2 top 10 RB seasons in his first 3 seasons in the league). But if Robinson is still productive, I are we going to fade ETN like people fade Chubb or Fournette because he didn’t outright take the job from JRob? I wouldn’t. But it seems like many of you would.

Based on what I know about Robinsons personality I just don’t think JRobs going to fall off the face of the planet like many of you think. Based on that belief I think many of you are going to be disappointed with a very good RB, just like many of you are disappointed with fournette even though he has had solid production.
This is a perfectly reasonable position. That’s likely why it is drawing so much derision from some quarters.
I have from the beginning pounded the table over the odds an udfa faces to keep his lead role NOT JAMES ROBINSON THE PLAYER. He must play well, be liked by current and future coaching staffa, not embarrass a general manager, be liked in the locker room, stave off injury, and Jrob seemingly did almost all those things. Yet, he is being replaced/downgraded in value because its not enough for reasons i cannot fathom.
If ETN falls flat on his face, what would keep Jax from repeating their mistake and drafting yet another rb?
I think it possible James Robinson COULD be the next Arian Foster or Priest Holmes, but even MORE needs to break right for him than did at any point last season. Its just not worth the risk with UDFAs to hold or pay premium prices for them. (unless they are the winning piece midseason to a championship I suppose)
