I know it will tick some fans off but the reality of it is we don't even use him. Nick Chubb is going to get his carries moving forward and Carlos Hyde is playing above everyone's expectations. Most NFL teams value RBs who can catch out of the backfield and lineup at WR. I think there would be some real interest and real value if we put him on the market. No way. We probably couldnt get more than a 6th for him. He’s being massively underutilized by this staff but hopefully not by the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hue correctly keeps saying that we need to get Duke more involved, get him more touches. And yet those statements seen to be falling on Todd Haley's deaf ears.

I'm thinking the plan is to continue using Hyde as the workhorse for a few more weeks, then they start giving more touches to Chubb and Duke as the season rolls on to not only exploit an unseen gameplan, but they'll also be more fresh. At that point, Hyde will likely be used more as a short yardage back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieRules Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I'm thinking a trade for Charger's Tyrell Williams - 6'4", 205, 25 years old, plays well when he gets a chance but with Chargers weapons, he doesn't see the field that much. This year, 13 catches on 19 targets, for 192 yards, 14.8 avg and a TD. Wouldn't cost that much to acquire, another tall target for Baker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be freaking out about Duke a bit more if we didn't have other things that were working. Honestly, the lack of Duke has been as much Baker as Haley at times. I've seen a handful of times when Duke was open underneath but Baker went downfield. There will be times when that isn't the case. Not really worried about it.

It’s weird how Hue has no control of his own team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LETSGOBROWNIES Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I don’t get the trade duke mentality. Guys get hurt and for the first time prolly ever we have 3 capable running backs. Now all of a sudden we should trade one (who can double as a competent slot receiver too mind you)? Why? We have plenty of money, no use trading talent at this point iyam.
