Can't disagree with you, but I wonder if they care.  RB is so minimalized in our OF from a running perspective.  You find a rookie with the right smarts (football and intelligence), I am sure they could handle the load.  But we'd probably prefer and interchangeable tandem and that might be a problem relying upon two rookies.

But until they actually move on from Mixon, it's all just theoretical as we don't know if they're actually attempting to do it.
