"Hyde clearly is the best running back on the 49ers right now. He should become the starter sooner rather than later."Now I know it's too early to know for sure, but I think it's worth discussion. Frank Gore is one of the greatest players in 49ers history, possibly the very best RB. With that said, Carlos Hyde looks like an absolute monster, again, I know it's early, but he looks like a guy who could be a top 5 RB very very soon, on most teams that spend a high pick on a RB, he'd be the bell cow right now.
In conclusion, Gore had 16 carries yesterday, with 9 total carries from other RBs (7 Hyde, 2 LMJ) and a cpl designed runs for Kaep. I was very happy and excited to see that the team trusted Hyde in every single situation. He carried the ball around the goal line and scored, he played on 3rd down and it was great to see. I hope the team continues to do this and even moves closer towards a 50/50 split between the 2 w/LMJ sprinkled in (and Lattimore once he is activated).
