If Hunt is going to take anyone's job, it's probably Perine. Pretty damn similar roles here.

I don't expect Pacheco to see anything resembling a full load till the playoffs.

And we expect that to not happen here now.

It’s possible, but he was also playing through a sports hernia last season before having the surgery in January. Cleveland never really used him to his potential while he was there, so it’s definitely possible he could contribute here. I’m likely being optimistic about what we can get from him, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this turns out better than expected either.

I hope he comes out and kicks ass.....but we've been down this road many times. I know how it usually ends.

Maybe he was looking for better situations? Maybe they couldn't agree on the money? Years? Maybe there were health concerns? Maybe teams were shy because of his past? I don't know, there could be many reasons. :shrug:

I am excited for what he'll bring to the passing game. He made some incredible plays receiving out of the backfield with Mahomes.

That's an Andy Reid score. Look at the 3 that have scored on it during our Super Bowls

Kadarius Toney
Skyy Moore
Mecole Hardman

He definitely will face more lighter boxes than at anytime with Cleveland. I need to see him behind our OL before I make any wild predictions but I think he will definitely be an upgrade to our short yardage game even though Steele looks good in that role as well.

And he was hurt, to your point.

His production didn't just dip last year. He never produced in CLE like he did here. I think there's some context to that - More than just Nick Chubb - which offers hope for what he can do back in this system.

You were looking at different film than I was then because he didn't look to have much speed at all from what I watched. At least compared to when he was here before.

Dude is 29 and has had some injuries. He doesn't have to be a world beater just decent.

He isn't in a position to hold Pacheco's jock when PAC is healthy though.

People are trying to compare 23 year old Hunt to 23 year old Pacheco. Hunt isnt that guy anymore.

And?

Reacquiring Mecole Hardman was a net positive.

He has better vision than any of our backs, if you could give Pacheco his vision he'd run for 1700 yards.

There's this level of disbelief that the sentence "Mecole Hardman made the Super Bowl winning catch in Overtime" is true. Obviously it was Andy's play that made him wide open, but it's Mecole. MECOLE. Of all people. Just funny stuff.
