You think Hunt is washed, yet you prefer McKinnon?

Let's see, the guy who was literally scoring touchdowns in this offense last season, or a guy who hasn't been here in 6 years, and shouldn't be returning.

Hmm.

Given the choice between the two washed backs, yes I'd prefer McKinnon.

And don't forget getting exactly this kind of reaction as planned.

Imagine being dumb enough to take that tweet in any way seriously. LMAO

LMAO Sure, if your ego is that low that basic pointing and laughing at your lame Twitter shit posts gets you off then keep on keeping on, champ.

I wonder if there's a stylistic distinction from a blocking standpoint.

For instance, McKinnon can chip but was best at 'absorbing' blitzers in pass pro. Hunt's just a bigger guy.

Maybe if they intend to use someone to help Kingsley a little more, they want someone that is more likely to deliver a punch than absorb one.

So in that regard, perhaps they just see Hunt, being the bigger and stronger back, as a slightly better fit.

Because yeah, intuitively you would think McKinnon would get the call ahead of Hunt. If he isn't, there's a reason for it.

We need a guy who can provide a floor and take some of the real workload.

McKinnon's carries his 3 years with the Chiefs (from most recent): 21, 72, and 12.

That is not what we need. We replaced McKinnon with Perine. We don't need another guy who excels on 3rd down but will break if we run him between the tackles too often.

McKinnon hasn't been able to make it through a season in forever.

I don't think McKinnon wants to play anymore.

If Hunt is washed, it certainly isn't from overuse. He had, what, a season and a half as a feature back here before he got the boot for punting that chick?

Then he's out for a seasons worth of games give or take, then spends 4 years as a second fiddle behind Chubb and friends in Cleveland.

Others getting really upset for no real reason over unserious Twitter posts fuels me.

LMAO slow down now. No one gets really upset at your shit posts. If they did you wouldn't be here anymore. The actual good shit posters like Deberg eventually do too good of a job and get the boot.

We missed you /s tag in your re-posting of a Twitter post... And took it at face value...

We sign this piece of shit yet :)

But why? Raw familiarity?

Because Hunt scored more TDs, averaged more YPC, had more yards per carry after contact, and was generally more effective than McKinnon.

Hunt JUST turned 29 a month ago: 1030 Rushes and 226 receptions.

Comparison:
McCaffery-28, 1297 Rushes and 509 receptions.
Henry-30, 2061 Rushes and 156 receptions.
Jonathan Taylor-25, 953 Rushes and 125 receptions
Barkley-27, 1247 Rushes and 294 receptions
Josh Jacobs-26, 1353 Rushes and 199 receptions

Pacheco-25, 409 Rushes and 64 receptions


While Hunt might be washed talent wise, his age and carries say he has plenty left in the tank.

Just being invited to Arrowhead for a visit shows forgiveness, if necessary. Familiarity with Steelers and Browns has some value

Yes, I forgot how difficult it is to decipher whether a Butker/Kareem Hunt analogy to LeBron/Curry is serious. My mistake entirely.

It's a 2nd round rookie LT from a non power 5 school, starting his 2nd game. I'd say giving the guy more than 2 games would be on the docket.

If he's not ready, sure ok, yeah go elsewhere. I'd hope you could have seen that before now as an organization but who knows.

If I had known a Butker/Hunt tweet spliced with a video of LeBron/Curry would upset you this much, I of course would never have posted it. What do you take me for?

I'd guess they offer him the vet min and see how serious he is about trying to redeem himself.

It's not like talent simply evaporates.

Seems inevitable now.

Did he ever have a serious lower body injury.

It would seem a little strange for him to have fallen off as hard as he did, as early as he did, without much of a workload.

I mean he was 27ish when he fell to hell, no? I know he had a calf issue but damn, he was 26 at the time. A calf shouldn't fell a guy like that.

Then again, we try to talk ourselves into stuff like this all the time and 99 times of out 100, the guy's actually washed.

If it is practice squad to start, they're definitely signing him.

We would probably still be promoted before Sunday

He was always somewhat borderline from a speed perspective of being able to play anyway.

Oh it usually does.

That really stupid ESPN show Playmakers did the best job ever of demonstrating exactly how.

The 'Old Warhorse' runningback spent the series trying to prove he was still as good as he used to be and was every bit as good as the new hot shit kid. And then in the last episode of the season, a hole opens up and he breaks into it.

I don't remember how they did it, but they contrasted him getting through the hole as a younger back with the version of him now that was just a half a step slower. And when he got there, the hole slammed shut.

The problem with a talent diminution is that the results aren't linear.

You fall off 10% in talent, you're not 90% as productive. When that happens, you're probably just not an NFL player anymore. Because you needed every last bit of that talent to clear that NFL ability threshhold.

If Hunt's fallen off 10%, he's not 90% of the player he once was. In fact, he'd be lucky to be HALF that guy.

Yeah, talent absolutely simply evaporates sometimes. Most times, in fact.

But hey, maybe Kareem is an outlier.

A bottom tier shit poster?

Oof. Seems like a few agree with that assessment as well. Work on your troll game and you might actually rustle a jimmy or two.

You never know...maybe he'll come back with fresh legs and have a bit of a resurgence.

The whole point of a joke is that it's supposed to be clever/funny. When it's not, people usually explain why it's a dumb joke.

S tier I'd say, but reasonable minds differ.

I define talent as innate ability that is there even after the body no longer allows that talent to be displayed. If Hunt isn't beaten up physically, there is no reason he can't do most or all of the things he did in 2018. He wasn't a speedster even as a rookie.

I don't think anybody would accuse the tweet of high comedy, no.

Nah. That's Hammock and Hootie tier. Guys that can actually provide excitement. You're firmly bottom tier precisely because you offer none of that. Be a better shit poster, please and thanks.

Oh.

I'm sorry - I presumed your definition of 'talent' actually made sense in my response to you.

My bad.

Carry on...

Well at least basketball season is around the corner. That's when I peak.

Yeah, but that's a niche thread and let's be honest, more than half of that is staylor raging into the void at LeBron.

So you think the instant a player suffers a career-ending injury, all of their talent vanishes? Talk about not making sense.

You are denying the impacts of aging on said “talent”?

You're right, LeBron really does make the job easy when virtually anything he does or says makes others irrationally angry.

Aging doesn't reduce talent, but it reduces the ability to use talent so it's basically the same thing.

A 29-year-old with relatively low mileage on the odometer should still be good to go if he's kept himself in shape.

Does this shit post work better for everyone?

Someone get Kimble Anders on the horn!

Holy shit we’re actually gonna resign Kareem Hunt.

That’s better.

Thank you

If peaking means 1,000 posts every month sucking off LeBron in the CP NBA thread then yes, that is when you peak.

Unpopular opinion---He should have never been cut

I think we can safely file you in the "irrationally angry" group referred to above.

It's better. But there literally wasn't anywhere to go but up.

I wouldn't have, but I'm also not the guy he lied to and that's where he really went wrong on that front.

This is where I'm at on it too. Most of it depends on what the guys been up the last 4-6 months. Hopefully he's stayed in shape and is ready to roll. Let's go baby !

Put me under any category you want. I could careless what you think about me broski.

Hell yeah!!!!

If the cops or the security would have done something, the horny 20 year old would not have been around-banging on the door.

He scored 9 rushing TD's last year - the most of his career. I think using him wisely is the key to his success. He will never be an effective every down back again but he certainly can be a part of a RBBC

Cannot wait to pick him up on FF

Making fans happy putting a guy on the practice squad. I do not envy Steele if he fumbles again

Exactly.

When people say, "as long as he's 75% of the player he use to be...." i kinda roll my eyes. 75% of the player he use to be isn't an NFL player anymore.

People just dont understand how slim the margins are.

Now, i dont really agree with you yet on Kelce as i havent looked myself. But i agree with you here on this point.

JFC... If you are washed then you have nothing left in the tank.

:doh!: 9 TD's last year disagree with your assessment.

The crazy thing is last season he never did a camp and missed the first two games aswell. Then Chubb got injured and he was signed straight away and played his first game on September 24th at home against the Titans. So if we sign him at least he can lean on last year's experience. In total he had nine td's in the regular season and actually had TWO td's in that playoff game in Houston. The one thing that hasn't seemed to have changed since he left is his ability inside the ten. He was always great in punching the ball in from there.

One more thing I'll add is people are talking about Hunt's age but when Jet Mckinnon was thirty years old he got us nine receiving TD's, one rushing TD and 803 total yards. And that's a man who had missed two seasons due to injury. So I have faith Kareem could still be very effective for this team once he gets up to speed.

Zero people were actually dumb enough to take that post seriously or to be upset by it.

Donger?? Has to be Donger.

Listening to Sirius this morning, Nex Gen stats had Hunt as the slowest RB in the NFL last year

Hopefully we’re playing against Ben Niemann then.

Oh snap. Let's party

If the Chiefs sign Hunt for depth it's fine.
This is the equivalent of Le'veon Bell, Melvin Gordon or whatever rerun at RB the Chiefs have signed the past couple years. If Hunt gets a couple carries for a few yards, great. If he's cut in a few weeks, so be it. If the magical powers of Mahomes causes him to regain the fountain of youth and he runs for 500 yards... well Chiefs.

Sign me up for Kareem Hunt scoring in a Super Bowl LIX win.

I think you're defining the term so broadly as to make it useless in any sort of dialogue.

For instance, no, I don't say 'Albert Pujols is a talented hitter'

I say he WAS a talented hitter. He's old now.

And I suspect in casual conversation when you aren't being a pedant, you do the same thing.

If no...whatev. As I said, to each their own.

I love it.

He was always one of the most fun players on the sidelines. Good vibes needed with someone like Pacheco going down.

That makes sense.

Congratulations to Kareem Hunt for getting his first Super Bowl ring!!!

One would certainly have assumed that given the post, but you can never underestimate people.

Kareem is still a very good short yardage RB, which happens to be a major weakness for the Chiefs. He got 9 TD’s last year despite averaging only 3 yards per carry. Would be awesome if he can make a big difference in picking up first downs & TD’s in short yardage.

LFG

Give me 3 yards a carry, no fumbles and good blocking and I'll take it.
