I mean, that's not bad right?

He's a good RB. But I can find a good RB anywhere (and the Chargers probably have 2 good ones behind him).

But you're right, of course. The Chargers should pay him as a top-five running back since they're the favorite to win the division. Can't go changing things up when they're the favorite.

I guess “good” isn’t a terrible way to describe him, but I’m not even sure that he’s better than Damien Williams. He’s definitely overrated because of fantasy football.

True. However, I don't think Hunt was ever going to get paid in KC.

Agreed. Hunt is likely a top back deserving of top money, but damn if we can't replace that production for a mere fraction of the cost.

I think he's probably more "talented" but in terms of what he'll produce? Nope.

RB's are such a product of their system, unless they're just a special ass player but even then, I dunno how much i'd wanna pay one.

I guess he’s a more talented runner, but I’d give Williams the edge as a receiver.

But yea you’re 100% right about the rest.

Maybe not but at least we avoid the distraction.

Sucks for them, but they do have one do the best GM’s in the league who could easily replace him.

Ekelar and the other RB whose name escapes me already are just as good.

They'll tell him "well I guess we'll see you week 1 big guy".

Getting a productive running back is just a matter of building a productive offense. If your offense is good, your backs will produce. There's no need to devote a lot of cap dollars or draft capital to the position.

Yes, yes, just focus on that. Focus on the cumulative stats that are a bi-product of being forced the ball as a #1 back. Good idea. Don't talk about his 3.9 YPC as a full time starter, his two broken knees, the fact that he couldn't score a TD till his 2nd season, or his inability to learn the playbook.

Hopefully that's what the Chargers are doing at least.

Justin Jackson is who I think you are referring to.

Ok but they forced him the ball as the number one overall back and he produced.

What you said is valid for sure but he’s a fine player

I would trade him and move on if I were the Chargers

Yes that’s him
