Better still were the positive comments from AJ Smith re: Darren Sproles, followed by a distinct non-committal answer on whether Sproles could be a featured back. Whether this is saber-rattling with impending free-agency looming or just genuine cluelessness, I'm not encouraged either way.
The Smith/Turner years have been runs of hysterically good fortune and exceptionally talented athletes masking a swath of very bad decisions (also see Turner, Michael and Neal, Lorenzo). I don't think years like this catalyze genuine change, so we're going to have to weather a Ryan-Leaf-caliber debacle for there to be a genuine upswing.
