I'm all in on Damien Williams and Derwin Thompson, I just want a better fall back plan that Darrel Williams. It looks like all 4 make the team anyway. [Reply]
I really do not think Carlos Hyde is going to be cut by the Chiefs.
1. He has had 1 bad year, not two. In 2017 he had 938 yards rushing and 350 yards receiving. 2018 was a bad year with Cleveland and Jacksonville.
2. Chiefs would waste money by cutting him and it also is not a good message to NFL agents and free agent players by cutting player and not giving them a fair opportunity to compete.
3. Chiefs aren't faced with a problem of too many good running backs on their roster. Damien Williams, Carlos Hyde, Darwin Thompson, Darrel Williams, and Anthony Sherman will do fine in Any Reid's offense. Tremon Smith is not a RB.
4. The only free agent RB of note is Jay Ajayi and I think he is waiting for some team to have a serious need at RB before he signs somewhere.
5. Chiefs are in good shape with their cap space. [Reply]

He had 19 and 20 carries in week 2 and 3 dude. Come on.
And if you want to get technical last year was the only shit year Hyde has had since he became a starter and he played on team with Nick Chubb who yea, is better. Then he got traded to the dumpersterfire that is JAX.
He wasn't good "3 years ago", he was good in 2017 which was the season before last year. [Reply]

Read your dates real close
He was fine on a bad team in 17.
16 was the year with Kap and Chip Kelly's offense, so I'm not too awfully inclined to care about that.
Rb's just hit walls fast. I don't really care much if they keep him or not, he's gonna be the 3rd guy at this point so he may get a few carries here or there.

Yea yea, I just edited my post.
I also just realized I am arguing the merits of Carlos freaking Hyde as the 3rd RB on a SB caliber Chiefs team with a ton of weapons and young talented guys (not named Darrel Williams).
I got to get some work done, I must be bored. [Reply]
