no one is swinging on his nuts saying he is going to be a pro-bowler but the proof is in the pudding:



anthony dixon - 8 rushes 15 yards

kendall hunter - 8 rushes 40 yards



playing with the same gameplan, the same blockers, the same everything. case closed kendall hunter should be our backup RB. that's all anyone is saying

Plain and simple, Hunter is a much better back than Dixon. Dixon was projected as a fourth round pick or later. Hunter was projected as a 2nd rounder. And for good reason. He's simply far more talented and polished. Teams were only concerned if he could take the pounding in the NFL because he's 5-7 200. The guy is built thick though, and last I checked, there are other backs that are the same weight, but taller and not built as thick (see Chris Johnson, 5-11 191 OR Jamaal Charles 5-11 199).

Hunter is an every down back and should be Gore's backup. He's a much more valuable weapon than Dixon, especially on third downs, because of his blocking, his speed, agility, vision, etc.

Well, I like Hunter, but I'm not as down on Dixon as everyone else seems to be.

I like both guys and I think they both have a place on the team. I think Hunter should be the #2 tho.

on another note tho....the two guys you mentioned are about the same weight, but also two of the fastest players in the NFL. Hunter is not. Hunter will be doing dirty work between the tackles that CJ and Charles don't do.

On another note, I think Kilgore will be the starting center in two years, and the starting RG next year, if not sooner.

I don't know what Staley's problem is, but pretty soon if he continues this nonsense the lineup will be:

Boone - Iupati - Goodwin - Snyder - Davis
Staley - Kilgore - Wragge - Rachal

Next year.. the hope is..

Boone - Iupati - Goodwin - Kilgore - Davis
Staley - Rook/Fa - Kilgore - Snyder - Person

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results aka rachal has got to go

C'mon, hasn't 2010 showed you anything? It's so important to win in the pre-season - because this might be the only time we can win.

Because Ice is the one who is suppose to supply the pass-rush right.

I agree ...... but tonight was discouraging though.

Yes, but we aren't saying Hunter is a Pro Bowl back. Thats not the discussion. The question is which of the 2 should backup Gore.

no way you can jusge anyone on the offense today unless its the o line

yes, they were booing Alex, and it will continue

He was running against ones tonight at least

I wouldn't wanna be a QB for the 49ers having to play with that offensive line. As much as I dislike Alex Smith and know he will only ever be average at best, it sucks watching him play behind this line. The second he steps back, he is either getting hit or about to take a big hit. Kaep ain't even close to being ready. What's good is that I have prepared myself for us to suck real bad this year. Unlike the last few years where i actually had expectations.

This is the battlecry now, wait till the season starts.. then what?
Then you watch the game and rationally and critically analyze our football team as a whole in an unbiased manner.

Or, if you don't want to do that you can post in Niner Talk.
...and this sucks , so far, but at least it does not count. Remember how bada$$ we were after 4-0 in pre=season last year?
