Writing him off 8 games into his career before he even gets an opportunity?

No.
More like tempering typical CP homerism/overhype.

Maybe there are reasons he is not getting the opportunities...

If Shady hasn’t become available, Darwin would be challenging for the starting role by now.

This x100 people completely forget before McCoy was in the mix Darwin was gearing up to be our number 2 in preseason. Andy is usually very, very slow with his rookies and Darwin is getting that treatment.

The tape does not lie, you're not a homer if you're excited about Darwin. He has genuine talent that will translate to the field.

But every time they give him his token play, it generally ends as an incompletion, a tackle for loss, or a gain of 1-2 yards.

Just call him Charkandrick without the pass protection ability...

wtf r u even saying he's had 4 rushes and 2 receptions in 8 games. what token plays

he hasn't had jack shit with regards to opportunities, and if you're dumb enough to consider him chark 2.0 based off 6 total plays then that's on you

No he wasn't. Guy had training camp and the entire preseason to earn playing time and couldn't do it.

what a dumb ****ing thing to say. he was literally our second string back in preseason. he was getting his reps with henne, darrel was coming in with shurmur

dude averaged 5 yards per attempt off 12 attempts and 12.7 per reception.

but sure ok, he didn't earn a lick of pt. he sucked out loud and that's why coaches are going out of their ****ing way to say they have packages in place for him and he looks great in practice

Khalen Saunders wouldn't have gotten a chance If Jones didn't go down and now he looks very good...have to give a guy a chance before writing them off. I cannot see how Darwin would do any worse than the others tbh...and we need to try all options as right now our running game is useless.
