Chiefs *****The Kareem Hunt Thread***** - Page 54

This dude is sick.

Kareem Hunt is RB1 in the NFL right now, in large part because of his ability to create something from nothing. Also, I have a cold... pic.twitter.com/SxuHyxMKWV

Dropped the LB like a Taser... great description

KC has always been preternaturally blessed with running backs, through all of my years we could at least always count on having great runners... its hard to dream up another team that has so consistently churned out crowd pleasing RBs

Hunt has been nothing short of amazing, business as usual in Kansas City

If Hunt could improve his pass blocking you’re looking at the best all around RB in the league

Those years were short lived

Nothing is ever perfect, but KC has an unmatched ability to find great backs regardless of era

You really don't know what you are talking about.

I'll never forget the frustration of the Donnell Bennett years. That was the 90's

We have consistently had good backs beginning with finding Priest in the Vermeil years. Which is a pretty impressive streak. But prior to that, you can't say that. Yes, we traded for Marcus Allen and we had Okoye, Word and Williams for a while. But we had times in there where we had squat at running back.

The 70s were before my fandom, but the 80s brought us Delaney and Okoye

Lol, no.

He didn't make guys miss in the backfield.

He ran over DB's on the 2nd level.

Firstly his attitude was shit when he arrived. Besides being a petulant whiner who thought everything was about him, he was also a low life woman beating dipshit.

He was great in 05, when KC had 3 HOFers on the OL and nobody ever touched him in the backfield. He was unstoppable if he got to full speed.

06 was a result of high volume and the number of times he ran the ball up his Center's ass with a running lane available was astounding.

My dislike of Larry Johnson isn't revisionist. I said in 05 that he was a flash in the pan back and KC should trade him while he has value. I compared him to Chris Warren, and said he'd wash out within 3 years. I gave him too much credit. Chris Warren lasted longer and gained more yards than LJ did.

I took heat for it then, but nobody can convince me it would have been the wrong move. Green Bay was ready to hand KC a king's ransom for the guy.

I don't know where this imaginary version of him came from where he was a patient elusive RB with good vision. He was exactly what I said he was from the day KC drafted him until he was ran out of town. I think Rudy Niswanger (however you spell that guy's name, don't care enough to look it up) still has LJ's helmet lodged in his ass.
