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.

I don't expect 2018 Hunt just like anyone else, but we're fooling ourselves if we think he isn't gonna see the lightest boxes he's had consistently since.... 2018.

And with a nice powerful line in front of him too.

I'll wager he's closer to 4.0 than 3.0.

If he can pick up short yardage conversions, that would be very helpful. Look at this from Sunday:

1st & Goal at CIN 2
(4:14 - 1st) (Shotgun) I.Pacheco left guard to CIN 2 for no gain (S.Rankins; L.Wilson).

2nd & Goal at CIN 2
(3:40 - 1st) (Shotgun) I.Pacheco up the middle to CIN 2 for no gain (S.Hubbard, J.Tufele).

Because I think the Chiefs prefer him in the passing game, they prefer to pass and they'd prefer to not let personnel telegraph the plays.

So Perine will be the naturally bet to get more of the plays between the 20s and if he has gas left in the tank (I think he does) he'll get the first crack at really getting a grip on the job.

Hunt would represent the highest ceiling but I think Perine's versatility will give him the first crack and I think he'll be able to run with it.

Thanks again, Denver!

Certainly not upset about it. It's mainly just they want a guy that is familiar with the system. Ultimately I don't value RB very much so it barely matters who we sign as long as they know their assignments and block. Just would have preferred someone who has a CHANCE to be a bit more dynamic and catch footballs.

HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT ABOUT EVAN HULL!!!

Evan Hull is going to be my next Mike Boone. I'm gonna spend years saying the Chiefs should pick him up, he's never gonna really get an opportunity anywhere and yet we'll look up someday and he's spent 10 years in the league.

You just watch!

(But seriously, why did Mike Boone never get a shot? Kid can play)

She gone.

Oh she has a job and stuff. Somewhere. But it's not like when she was here and there was simply no avoiding her.

That narwhal can piss and moan all she wants. I won't hear a bit of it. Because to hear her, you have to actively be seeking out her opinion on things these days.

And lord knows I ain't doing that.

But bringing back Kareem is a meme and memes are fun.

Perine's small usage so far makes me question how much of the playbook he knows at this point.

I doubt they lean on a rookie, they're probably just going to pass more.

Agree with all of this, which is why for fantasy purposes I think I'm gonna steer clear even though I wanna jump in feet first.

CEH can come back W5, and that leaves him as the guy they probably trust the most. But a.) will he come back and b.) does someone just flat out take the job in the next two weeks?

Based on what I saw in Denver last year, you'd have to think it's Perine but they've barely used him, to Mecca's point.

hopefully it was just the stink of Cleveland dragging him down, but the last time i watched Kareem play i remember thinking he looked more like 38 than 28

i'll be genuinely delighted to watch him prove me wrong

We missed on Josh Gordon and LeVeon Bell and a few other bombs.

None cost us a ton of money or other comp.

Hunt I view the same way..

Why cant this season's magic be Kareem's redemption as we 3Peat?
