Clyde is being sold below guys on our practice squad (mOrE GOre!!). The Mayocks of CP are coming out of the woodwork to revisit the draft and the 'wasted' first round pick on a RB. He's slow. He's unathletic. He has no vision. He can't pass block. He completely sucks.
I'm not sold on this narrative.
Fumble was inexcusable but highly atypical. Guy has struggled with vision this year. But he flashed early last year. He's still figuring out this OL and the Chiefs are still figuring out how to use him in this system. He was named the MVP of the best college (spread) offense I think we might ever see. He has talent. Just needs to re-find his groove.
I'm not giving up on him as we've seen Reid do more with a lot less. And I think Clyde is primed to turn it up from here.
So, not a homer take. Just a take that's being less pessimistic after a difficult loss. Let this be a safe space for those who haven't given up on Clyde.
The only thing that can save him as far as worth the pick is catching more balls and being elite with yac but I don’t believe Reid forgot how to throw the ball to rbs. So clearly there are issues with CEH himself preventing it. [Reply]
My concern was that he was drafted to be a prolific pass-catching option with the promise of an ability to run advanced routes.
I can't think of a single time his receiving has had a game changing impact thus far.
If he has one impactful game as a receiver, I'll start to feel a lot better. His rushing, to me, is fine in the context of this offense. He doesn't need to be a burner. Just having a Damien like option as a receiver would be massive for the offense in crunch time. [Reply]
fuck you doubters. He plays with heart, and he continues to get the job done. You people who bash Clyde, I don't even consider true fans. He plays his heart out every Sunday, and you continue to bash him...
Heh, nah..I don't think it's so dire for CEH either. I think he's probably good enough in this offense if used properly, and hopefully wiser now for his troubles. [Reply]
