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.

This is the best news I’ve heard since Ward got lasik. [Reply]

A one legged blind man would look good running against our defense. Let's see what he does when he plays against a another team. [Reply]

Been thinking the same thing… “ok fine he’s running all over Niemann and Hitchens at practice, but that’s not saying much”
If he sucks again tomorrow, I do have faith that we’ll see a shakeup at RB [Reply]

Why even give him tomorrow? 1-2 with a divisional loss isn't the time to start really trying in a season. The rest of the league has been really trying the whole time, and an NFL season is a sprint, not a marathon.
Darrel Williams can do everything CEH does, except he can secure the ball and he has a bit of power. I've seen him make a pass block before too. McKinnon could be better than both.
We've seen CEH, and it just isn't happening, and he's been in the league forever in running back years. Maybe he can excel with a change of scenery, like Trent Richardson when he went from the Browns to the Colts.

So Clyde has 2/3rds of chiefs rushing carries and has the same ypc as the ypc for all the carries by players other than him.
The offense has not done a great job on running plays, but they have had less snaps overall because of the way the games have played out.
This idea that a fan can watch a game from the normal camera angle and figure out what would happen if the ball carriers moved a little differently is nonsense. [Reply]
All those years of great running backs and we never had a QB. Now that we got a QB we can't run the ball for shit. Jamaal could find a crease between a gnat's ass cheeks while playing behind some pretty shit offensive lines. [Reply]
