A bad QB you risk everything for is much more crippling than a bad RB as well.



But is it a worse decision to risk everything for a qb than to risk everything for a rb?

I'd say the Redskins wind up worse off when it's all done, but the Ricky Williams trade was a worse decision.

I agree with that.

Ricky doing well in Miami and getting us a couple 1st rounders back saved our arse with that deal.

I can agree with that.

Here's what St. Louis got with all the picks they got from Washington:
No. 2: St. Louis ? Washington (PD). St. Louis traded this selection to Washington for first-round selections in 2012 (6th), 2013 (22nd), and 2014 (2nd), and a 2012 second-round selection (39th).[source 1] After a number of subsequent trades over the next two drafts, St. Louis ended up turning this single pick into the following players: OT Greg Robinson, LB Alec Ogletree, WR Stedman Bailey, RBs Zac Stacy and Isaiah Pead, DT Michael Brockers, CB Janoris Jenkins and G Rokevious Watkins

The line of thinking on the value of RB's hadn't changed yet, so it's unfair to penalize the Saints for "overvaluing" a RB in 1997. Remember that the Colts picked Edgerrin James before the Saints traded for Williams.
