Carlos Hyde Versus Melvin Gordon?

Postby hamburglar » Thu Mar 24, 2016 12:53 pm

Any thoughts?

I feel like I prefer Hyde. Both guys are talented yet fragile-- Gordon is 2 years younger.

Both teams are a mess.

Thoughts?

Even though I'm a big Hyde fan. I had to sell him this offseason. Gordon's mess is more attractive than Hyde's.

Hyde:
+ Should get high volume
- Team DEF could be even worse.
- More loss this offseason at OL
- Nothing at QB/WR
- Plays in possibly the worst division in football for a RB

Gordon:
+ Vol. should increase
+/- OL should improve
+ Has a competent QB with a few offensive weapons.
+/- Inconsistent but decent DEF

I see three votes for Hyde-- but nary a single reason or argument.

For the record I got an offer of Gordon and 2017 2nd for Hyde and I accepted after thinking it through.

This is a close one for me. As a Charger fan, I honestly believe that Gordon ran(or failed to run) behind the league's worst line, so I want to give him the edge. However, as a fan, I don't see the front office changing that either. So I guess I go Hyde.

Watch Hyde's offseason workout tape. His footwork is money and he cut 15lbs so he can stay on the field more and improve quickness/speed. That's worked out great for other bigger backs that did it. That's why I go Hyde

Give me Hyde, but I can see it being close.

49ers had the 6th worst O-line last season, but Hyde still managed 4.1 YPC. He also played less than 300 snaps but was still the 22nd best RB according to PFF. Unless Gordon can make a leap in 2016, I'm not buying him.
