They've got to do something just to spread some carries around. Williams isn't good enough to spell CEH for more than a handful of carries and if Thompson plays anywhere other than ST, it's criminal.
CEH looked great but let's not run him into the ground right off the bat. [Reply]

Darwin Award Thompson is awful.
He has terrible vision, zero ball awareness and doesn't put any fear into opposing defenses or coordinators.
I've said this before but had the Chiefs known that Damien Williams would opt out, they would have either drafted another running back late or really worked the UDFA market to find a suitable backup for CEH because Darwin Award and Darrel Williams aren't it. [Reply]

He’s not terrible.
He’s limited in awareness, in what we saw last year as a rookie. At times, he looked completely lost. He was solid running the ball and even flashed the ability to be a pretty good runner, but he is mentally absent as a receiver out of the backfield. Washington is a good back as a receiver and a runner and they decided to keep Thompson on the 53 over him. The RB coach loves him. [Reply]

Thompson is a scrub. Washington is just a worse scrub.
Not sure why we have to build these legends around guys that are role-players at best. [Reply]
