Hyde's not that slow. He accelerates pretty quickly for a guy his size. Doesn't have that great of a top end speed, but that's not really what we need him for anyway.
Again, if the Chiefs are confident that going with a smaller guy like Thompson who can batter through and fit in smaller places, then sure. Whatever.
I've been in the position of defending Carlos Hyde practically all camp, and I don't really want to because I don't care enough about him. I just think people are going way the **** overboard. Practically from the moment we signed him, everybody said, "Cut the bastard." I get that his signing was an insurance policy in case we couldn't find a guy like Darwin Thompson in the draft, but since we did find Thompson, that doesn't mean Hyde doesn't have value in this backfield.
I'd rather keep Hyde than Darrell Williams, that's for sure.
