Actually he very well should be, if it weren't for having a stress fracture in his foot I have little doubt he would be leading the league in rushing.
Is he as special as Gurley, Bell or Freeman? None of us can honestly answer this right now. Time will tell, and though it's easy to hate on our team right now a healthy Hyde definitely deserves to be talked about when considering future stars at the running back position.
"Hyde is tops on this list with an incredible 32 forced missed tackles (first in this group) and very nice 2.83 yards per carry after contact (second among these backs). Again -- the hype around Hyde has dissipated a little bit as the year's gone on, but his numbers are still strong and his elusive rating really points to how he's doing a lot without much to work with. He's breaking tackles at a higher rate than any of these other backs and he's getting almost 70 percent of his yardage after breaking a tackle. That's incredible."
