No one knew he'd be this good but it looks like the Tomlinson/E. Smith comparisons weren't so far off the mark... |

Moreover, when it comes to contact in the NFL, more is always worse than less and we absolutely know that more touches equals more contact. You're being remarkably obtuse here. You know there's no bright line cut off yet you keep trying to hammer theoretical end points as some kind of 'gotchya!' moment. You also know that RB is among the most physically taxing positions in the game. Ignoring that fact greatly increases the chance that he's worn down and at what expense? It is better to have fewer carries on your RB in January - full stop. There's no argument to the contrary. You don't go out there and bubble wrap the guy to go 8-8 in order to save those carries, but there's absolutely a point where the juice doesn't justify the squeeze. If you're force-feeding him the ball so he you can win games by 17 instead of 3 and come January he's lost just enough burst to not be able to outrun the angle on that cutback run - what the hell was the point? Reid's handling him perfectly. No, there's no cause to spike his touches. |

I don't even feel the need to reply to anything right now. DJ has typed out my responses for me...and did a better job than I would have in his wording.
Thanks, bud. Some of this teams fans just EXPECT an early exit from the playoffs and have lost track of the big picture...winning it all. I think KC has a nice chance at winning it all if Hunt is healthy come playoff time. |

Kareem can do the same thing for the Chiefs that Terrell Davis did for Denver....if he stays healthy.

There is a reall good article on Hunt in the Star today by Millinger. I can't link it, but someone should when you can. Very long article, but goes back to his childhood.
At 7, he wasn't tackled in his first two games. Had another game... against a team that Mitch Trabisky was on... where he rushed for nearly 1000 yards and had 11 (I think) touchdowns. |

Of course, that would mean he wouldn't be able to shitty game manage coast his way through the game as soon as he gained a lead in the 2nd quarter. |

Reid had us closer to winning a home divisional playoff than any coach in our history. A 2 point loss where the refs took away play game tying play. This was the same game where we had a mash unit on the defensive line. We already knew it was a bad matchup and lost by 2
If we are healthy and at home I like our chances vs anyone |

The Chiefs are averaging more than a half yard MORE per play than any other team.
That's all Kareem Hunt. You take away his 78 yard rec, 52 yard run and 69 yard run and the average drops to 6.05. |

To give credit where credit is due.....that 78 yard reception is on Smith as well. He dropped a ****ing dime to Hunt.
