He is in ff for sure.Hot Sauce Guy said:Alex Smith was Hunt (and the Chief’s) biggest problem today.
none of this is on Hunt. Just a disastrous performance by Smith.
He might get benched. Good lord - what a train wreck.
nothing sums this team up better right now than 4th & 2 direct snap to Kelce for a loss of 3.
Never mind FF, Chiefs can’t have him on the field. Trouble is the rookie probably isn’t ready & Smith is tanking his trade value.
Talent is important.
Another coach did this a couple weeks ago.
Right, but Mahomes is a lot better prospect than Peterman.Another coach did this a couple weeks ago.
Garapolo there’s probably going to get 24 million.
That is a huge risk. All that's happening now is lowball offers, but if someone wants to toss me RB10 value in the offseason I'm out.
He's got only a few places available to him. They can't cut him. I think they're stuck with him.
I can't disagree with this. Maybe Reid needs to let someone else call the plays.
It isn't that far fetched that he hit the wall and that is why Reid is limiting his carries, it could also just be Andy Reid being Andy Reid, he did the same thing to Charles when he was in his prime.You got all that from 11 carries?
That’s not what hitting the wall means.
Are you still standing by your statement that he is a “plug and play matchup proof RB 1?l Or will you admit that maybe you overreacted to me disagreeing with that statement?

It's bizarre the way they continue to stick with all the gadget plays even as they continually backfire.
I wasn't even involved in that whole ordeal but the reason you got hammered is because you were being pedantic about the semantics of the statement. Disagreeing that Hunt would be one going forward would certainly have been fair, but writing 80 paragraphs about how a guy has to put up top 12 numbers each and every week when the person making the statement made it clear they were talking about a guy you could plug into your RB1 slot in your lineup was hard to watch.
Keep doing what? Like I said, this is my first comment on the topic.
It’s literally been about 7 weeks since he’s posted RB1 numbers. He hasn’t been a guy you could plug into your RB1 lineup for quite awhile.
But go ahead and keep doing that.
Mahomes was probably the best rookie QB in the NFL in the preseason and training camp. He looked great. Until Smith had the hot start people thought Mahomes was going to take over at some point. Mahomes is closer to Watson than Peterman. I think Mahomes is ready and would bring a new look to the Chiefs offense which they badly need right now. Teams have adjusted to what the Chiefs were doing were doing early in the year and Alex Smith just has nothing more to give.He is a mediocre QB.Another coach did this a couple weeks ago.
KCC lost 5 of 6, avg 12 ppg over last 3... you know the Jets are scoring at least 20 pts (likely 24-27)... I can't see any way for the Chiefs put up 30 on the road.
At this point it’s obvious.
That was not “the whole deal in this thread” - this is the Hunt player thread. No offense, but I don’t remember a single one of your posts.
This. +1

Yes. The chiefs couldn’t get a 1st down and that resulted in 11 carries and one deception.
I don't think the Bills were stacking the box actually. They played in nickel for most of the day and substituted a CAB in for a LBer. What they did was double Kelce and/or Hill most of the day.
You left out the “with me” part in your quote, but whatever. Good luck with your boy the rest of the way.
I watched most of the first half, KC O'line was getting blown up regularly. The few Hunt carries I noticed, he was consistently hit behind the LoS. Smith held the ball way too long as well, early in the 1st quarter he was lucky he wasn't called for intentional grounding in the endzone. Smith took like a 9 step drop on a 3rd and long on that play, it was ridiculous.
This.
because even bigger athletes are pounding into him every week for the past 3 months, which is incidentally the time period for college full season, and a full season of college, the players are slower, smaller and don't hit as hard so 12 college games is probably equal to playing about 8 games in the NFL.
This exactly.
It's an Alex Smith issue, a playcalling issue and a Tyreek Hill isn't a #1 WR issue. Hill is a gadget player and despite his speed, defenses don't seem to be too scared of him. Hill managed the very rare 11 target, 7 catch 41 yard game. It's one of the big issues people had with Hill coming into the season.Just like last year, his air yards and yards per target are awful.
Not like it's the whole problem but don't they also stack the box because Hunt is too slow to outrun people? Yes he's a good back but he's not great at all.
He shouldn't be an outside receiver. He would be better working in the slot and backfield exclusively. Late last season when he played well down the stretch he was being used out of the backfield a lot. If the Chiefs were smart (big if) they would get back to using him there again. I actually think it was a big mistake letting Maclin go. They just don't have anyone besides Kelce to take the Defensive attention away from Hill anymore.
Maybe. Think it has more to do with Smith not throwing deep and the only other consistent receiving threat being Kelce so if you can clog up the box, Kelce and Hunt are rendered useless.
