We got a premier RB at the beginning of his best years...The trade was worth 2 #1s and we desparately needed a stud RB to take the weight off the fact that we had a mediocre offense around him. Besides, RW contract was set up so that we could afford him for 4 more years. So, in retrospect, the trade was well worth it...With the new coaching regime, would I make the same trade again, no...too much in the way of necessary draft choices to gamble on one guy...Ricky's behavior since last offseason has no bearing on the original deal....If Wanny had any kind of sense of talent, he would have drafted the remainder of the picks to solidify the team, but he failed miserably at that. That is not RW fault. I'm not being an apologist for RW here. I still feel he quit on his team and that is the ultimate crime he could have committed. Would I want him back ? No, but I don't make that decision and if his teammates and Saban accept him back, then that would be fine. (I still don't regret burning my RW jersey.) So, to question the deal now is not very valid in the grand scheme of things. The fault lies with Wanny and his poor draft ability, not with RW (at least in this case).
