Neither have the strength or power to drag defenders with them, so end up being safety valve types.

Idiot.

CEH is on pace to have a 1600 yards from scrimmage season (Rookie Kareem had like 1782 scrimmage yards)

CEH has 344 rushing yards in 5 games, on pace for 1100 rush yards (we haven’t had a 1000 yard back since rookie Hunt)

CEH has 169 receiving yards through 5 games, on pace for 540.

So he has actually posted good numbers. People who expected him to be as good as Kareem Hunt were going to be disappointed though

It’s also interesting that Mahomes is running so successfully this year. He’s on pace for a 400 yard rushing season.

Also interesting that among AFC Champion teams from 2005-2019, the only Pro Bowl running back was Ray Rice in 2012

I know this much. We must get more out of our running game to beat good teams. OL needs to man the hell up and start moving people. Mahomes needs it like every QB does.

In terms of effectiveness and production I think they will be the same - time will tell

They play different fucking positions, you idiot.

What's next? Are you going to compare Bopete Keyes to Breeland Speaks?

For fucks sake McCluster was played WR later in his career. Drafted as and began his career as an RB I mean he had 500 rushing yards in his second year.

The problem isn’t that he’s bad. He’s not. It’s that he’s been thrust into a RB#1 role immediately. Brian Westbrook (who CEH has been compared to) at least had competent help in Staley and Buckhalter.

The problem is mainly CEH has nothing to help him out.

I fail to see how that is CEH's fault or should be used against him in any way?

I really like CEH as a player but drafting a running back in the first round is a very Bill Polian type move IMO.

For my $$ when you have Pat Mahomes at QB you draft DB/pass rush & Oline.

A running back just isn't going to make much of a difference for this type of football team.

Bill Belicheck did it TWICE.

Ceh is averaging 80 to 90 total yards per game right now which is decent imo. Kareem's start In KC was not the norm so i'm not holding them expectations against Clyde. The big thing Clyde needs to perfect is his ability to punch it in inside the ten...that's what Kareem was a master at and it got him cheap td's even when he didn't have a great game. Thus far I think Clyde was excellent against Houston and The Ravens. Hopefully we'll see him back to that form next monday.
