That's true... and ****'n irritating.

I can live with 4 good years from a RB. Very few backs can carry the ball 320 times for more than a couple of years.

Why would this break him down faster?

I'm assuming he was referring to the higher workload for Charles if he is the best option A, B, and C. I know this sounds like a brutal thing to say, but I think we've seen it in (LJ) that a RB is only good for the four or five year rookie contract. Get what you can while the getting is good and then find another one. Unfortunately with Charles where putting miles on him when we suck. By the time this team is possibly good enough to be contending for anything he might be just about used up.

i think charles is going to be a play maker, but i want a stronger type back to compliment him. its how almost all teams are doing things these days. plus, part of why he seems so fast is he was pretty fresh, as he didn't get a whole lot of touches early on. he seems to have gotten a handle on holding on to the ball, which is a good thing.

meh, Tiki Barber did it for years. Even though they had another back to spell him. Hell, every team has a 2nd back. He was the workhorse of the Giants who were a running team.

We definitely need a #2 back.

I'm just in COMPLETE disagreement that you use a top 5 pick to get that replacement on a team starving for playmakers at other positions. The Chiefs need a back to take a few carries from Charles and COMPLEMENT him. They don't need a back to take away his job. For as awesome as we think it would be to have two playmakers, how many teams like to use a lightning-lightning option instead of thunder-lightning.

There's no doubt in my mind he's a #1 back. That doesn't mean we don't need a #2 who can take a sizable chunk of carries every game without much of a dropoff.

he's going to come in camp slower next year and people were going to wonder why he lost a step, then take a look how he got the **** beat out of him this yar

Only Chiefs fans would look at a back like Charles, and say idiotic things like what has been said in this thread...

It's true, Charles needs another RB to help him in short yardage. That's the end of the story.

Charles has featured back written all over him. The same idiot posters saying he can't handle the load, were the ones saying he could carry the load early in the year.

I know the glass is half empty for some of you...but stop and enjoy a possible top 5-10 RB when you see one. Charles is that.

I respect Charles when he said and delivered on a statement that he was going to take LJ's job.

The Chiefs now have a running back that can be respected on and off the field.

He's an infact player!!!!!

This.

Yes, he is, in fact, a player.

Nope. Haley called the plays and developed the game plan. So while we have a ways to got to be a winning team, he deserves some credit here. Like it or not.

He makes the o-line look like Shields and Roaf are still on the field.
