I'm glad I got to watch him play. Can you imagine what records he would've set if he were on a decent team???

I know back in the day people always said if he was on the cowboys teams of the 90's that he would have been epic, and that Emittt Smith wouldn't have been half the Rb he was in Dallas.

gotta agree with that. Seemed like he was the only one playing offense on that team. Always running for his life.

child please, they had 1 year when herman moore and brett perriman both had over 100 catches in addition to whatever stats barry put up on the ground that season, he coulda used a better qb but he wasnt the only guy on their O who could play in the league

I have to disagree, CJ2k is a track player/wr playing RB.. Hunter actually keeps his legs churning, and runs through some people.
I based mine off of both losing position in the draft, then coming out and proving smaller backs can play in this league. They both display an ability to get lost behind blockers, and once they break the open field they are gone. Both can catch passes, both can elude tackles, both can fit through the smallest creases. I mean, it's tough to compare a rookie that hasn't played to players that have been in the league for a couple seasons. I feel Hunter is a poor mans CJ at the moment, but has some potential to be pretty good.

For all these reason's he "reminds" me of CJ, has since I first seen him in a 9er uni.

Ah ok, good points.
he reminds me of Rice or MJD
MJD for sure. Both are quick, compact and dynamic.

brian westbrook

imo he is virtually a carbon copy of him
I'm as excited about Hunter as the next guy, but I don't think he has proven anything yet.

Hopefully that changes tomorrow.
Eric Metcalf???

Been a long time since I've seen him but I'm just looking for a small fast/quick back that isn't Barry Sanders.

I agree Chaz, the comparison to Barry Sanders is absurd, rediculous, laughable, and nauseating.

BTW, I remember laughing so hard that I snorted Coke out my nose during that run Sanders had vs. the Patriots (3:25 mark in the video). What he did to the safety (no. 42) was hysterical.

If Hunter continues to play the way we think he can, this might be the best comparison yet.

Ricky was over 6' tall and essentially a third WR on the field for us at all times. I fail to see the comparison.
