All we have heard about him the last two years is that he was underutilized. Haley didn't use him much. Freddy used him less. If he is so damned valuable why wasn't he used? Hint: Because he is not. He's underutilized like Ameer Abdullah or Dexter McCluster were.....IOW he's just not that good. It's not just this forum tho. Duke put up okay numbers on a terrible team with weak receiving talent as an outlet RB. That's not really hard to do. Jalen Richard had 78 catches last year...you don't hear much about him being one of the better RBs out there...and his numbers are arguably better over the last couple years. Duke's not a good runner out of the back field. He's not a chunk play threat. He's not clutch/reliable. And he's always suffered nagging injuries despite not missing games. He's overpaid and now he's unhappy about his role. Depth isn't as great as it looks on paper this year. Hunt is a beast but won't be available for most of the year. Chubb is a beast but had an injury history in college. Duke is a poor runner out of the backfield and Hilliard is a jag.

He averages 5ypc, he cant be that bad a runner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker is being a leader for the other 52 men that will be in the locker room with him. He doesn’t need to protect one guy.

sdrawkcab321 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Baker throwing bombs lmao. Shut your sensitive mouth duke. Trade talks are apart of the game and you’re a boarderline starter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
