If Spiller looks anywhere as good as he and Dorsey say he does, then Spiller makes the roster over West.

Ware/Hunt/Spiller.

Spiller becomes your new Jet Sweep guy now that Reek is at the Z.

Hell, maybe they keep West and dump DAT.

Yeah I'm doubtful on spiller but if he's got whatever back, he'd be a nice addition

Frank Gore ran a 4.6 and so did Hunt.

Clay has ZERO understanding about football.

Regardless of who they keep, that part right there is a WONDERFUL idea.

Gore ran a 4.55 and he did so on a re-built knee that he never truly fully recovered from. Gore was effective, yes, but he was never the same explosive player he was before his knee sploded. Gore has never been a fast back despite timing nearly a full 10th faster than Hunt did (nice rounding trick there, ass).

Don't try to argue that Hunt isn't slow - by NFL runningback standards, he is. And that was after cutting weight. He's unlikely to be any faster than that 4.62 and could, in fact, end up a bit worse.

If you want to try to argue that he can be a good runningback despite not being terribly explosive, I'll listen. But don't try to argue that the guy is fast because by NFL standards, he just isn't.

:facepalm:

Nowhere have I said that Hunt can't be a good RB in the NFL.

I just have serious doubts that a player with his particular physical skillset is going to come in and claim a starting job on a playoff team his rookie year.

You guys can't handle a little nuance apparently.

Hunt was aiming for a 40 in the 4.4-4.5 range and expected to get there. I think he just ran a bad time and being 8 pounds overweight probably didn't help.

He's going to get a ton of usage.

I'd say there's a 1% chance Spiller makes the squad.

Did we release De Useless yet?

I actually compared Hunt to Gore (after the injuries), but I don't think people realize how good Gore was before them.

That guy was better than McGahee and Portis. He used to come in and rack up 100 yards in the 4th like it was nothing as a freshman.

Why? He's Ty Hill's backup.

He's on a rookie deal so he's cheap.

I don't get the hate.

He's certainly not JC or CJ2k fast. Not even close.

But he was soft hands, has very good vision and didn't miss a beat at the Senior Bowl. Priest Holmes wasn't the fastest guy in the league, especially after two torn ACL's, but his vision and hands were extraordinary.

He's far more talented than Ware or West and I expect him to be a big contributor in 2017.
