Because history would tell us....it's probably not gonna end up being a big needle mover.

I'm just here for Kareem to have the chance to right his wrong, help this team achieve that elusive 3 peat. Can't ask for a better ending to his story if it happens.

I'm hopefully optimistic, but that's it. I've been let down too many times with this stuff.

The entire NFL believed there were at least 100 RBs better than Hunt or he would have been on a roster or PS rather than on the street.

Who knows maybe he was waiting for an injury somewhere so he could better chose a landing spot? I don't know.

I agree. Pacheco is a great player but he’s always seemed like a bit of a square peg in a round hole.

I don't really think it's all that close.

Pacheco is a good solid RB.

His vision isn't very good though.

Hunt lacks the open field speed that Pacheco has. So in terms for long scoring runs you have that with one guh not the other.

In terms of catching and pass blocking. I don’t remember that. I’d proly have to look at pff grades or something to compare

Nah. Prime Hunt was ridiculous. 14 TDs and 1200 yards in 11 games. Too bad he's such a fucking doofus.

Yeah, the 2018 Kareem was really underlooked at how much be helped that offense roll.

Hunt basically tops Pacheco in every metric that has to do with him, yards above expected etc. Better receiver, better vision, better balance.

An oddly for Pacheco clocking better Hunt ripped off bigger chunk plays in his time here.

No, actually I dont think it is. Hunt was a better all around back by quite a bit. Dude led the league in rushing one year, was a legit receiving threat and was great in pass pro.

Pacheco has been good, but he’s never risen to the great label. Hunt had a chance to be great…. And he started off that way

Hunt's career longest run is 69 yds (2018 Chiefs), Pacheo longest run was 48.

He was a better kicker too.

Watching Hunt jump cut into a hole or hit a cutback zone blocked run was a thing of beauty.
