It sucks because the drop off between Mitchell and Wilson is humongous. Mitchell was gaining 6.8 yards per carry and Wilson 2.2. That is a game changing difference and given that we run the most out of almost any team in the league our running backs are a lot more important to the success of our team than other teams.

This killed us in the Bears game and will continue to hurt us until after week eight when Mitchell is supposed to come back. It would be great to get Hunt but I know we won't do it. So much for staying competitive like the Rams always do. Hunt is also a three down player and is elite as a pass catcher

I'm looking forward to seeing what Mason and TDP have to offer. I've been a Wilson fan for some time and have even advocated for him to get a small extension, but if he doesn't show much in this time Mitchell is out or if Mason and TDP overtake him, his time is done.
