Shaun Alexander came to this team to be the back-up to our back-up for super cheap money. If we're going to pick up a RB for the future, it needs to be one we pick up in the next year or two in the first or second round. Not some scrub that fans have a man-crush on, who cannot get off the practice squad in any team, and was completely destroyed by a first-string defense. And don't forget that our running game problems were partly b/c of our run blocking and our lack of a passing offense.
