I'm usually an optimist, but if we have a losing streak to rival our recent winning streak we're going to be on the outside looking in again. If that's the case I agree with the chorus here and say we should maximize what we get out of Backs.
I wouldn't pull the trigger without having a better idea of the playoff picture, but if we're close to missing the dance I think you deal him. In that scenario, Tre has got to be laying the groundwork now.
