If the O-line is good, running backs are a dime a dozen
I don't know. The days of us being shitty at the position are probably over for a while but the difference in a dime a dozne back, a pretty good back, adn a great back is massive.
Look no further than the first part of last seaoson while Dajiun was hurt. Our leading rusher game 1 was kendall with less than 60 yards. GAme 2 was RodRob with less than 40. Both games were against scrubs and Beck didn't throw for 300 in either one of them. Having to hope Dllon Bell or someone could make a play here and there isn't really a great feelign int eh backfield.
Having a Kenny or Zamir or Cook (not even going to mention guys like chubb or gurley) not only opens up your offense a ton in what it can do, but it means that second wave of guys (like Daijuan) that come in late are even MORE effective. Having a bonafide star at RB is massive, even with the game going further and furhter away from the run game. If we hand't gotten Etienne this year we'd be truly fricked right now.

I think you are conflating issues.
We need Etienne because we need a receiving threat out of the backfield.
The other things that he excels at are gravy.
We have backs who can run zone and power. If the blocking is there (and by most accounts, we are a mauling OL), the backs will get yards.
Etienne fills a need for a linebacker mismatch on passing downs. That is a big part of the monken offense.
