Better Running Back? | Page 3 | 49ers Webzone Forum

Walsh · 2011-08-14T16:16:43-07:00

Dixon's had more reps and should be further along but he looks like the same guy as last year. Hunter had a better game imo so I think he's the #2

I'm not sure who's the better back, but I really hope Rathman is telling Dixon," Quit thinking Chris Johnson, start thinking Peyton Hillis, and truck the dude in front of you!"

What, are you in a 20 team league or something? Or did you draft Gore early and get Hunter as a handcuff?
Please, explain.

Yes, handcuff for sure. He could end up as Gores backup, so its possible for some receptions too, from Capt. Checkdown.

Oh, shoot I don't want to hijack this thread, but still

next game, he puts up a 100 yard game, the nut hugging will be back in full force

Correction: It's not 1 preseason game. It's all last season and this one preseason game.

At this point, if he put up a 100 yard game, I'd call it a fluke. He looks like the same guy as last year. I'm hoping hunters better but pretty confident at least that dixon is not who we want as a backup.

haha...you got that right. One sub par game and they are ready to boot him out the door.

Singletary and Ray tried to make him a bulldozer and that's not his style. He has quick feet and prefers to run around guys instead of through them.

Seriously? Dixon is a guy that was one of the top backs in the SEC, on a crappy team. Hunter is pretty quick, but Dixon is a better back that did it against better competition. You guys always over react. Once the line gets straightened out, everything will look better on offense.

Not good Dixon's heavier...that's on him to work it off. However, comparing he and Hunter is apples & oranges. Dixon's the big power RB, while Hunter's much quicker and smaller. I saw him play at Ok St...he's a baller, this kid. He'll be fine...and a nice compliment to Gore. Agree Dixon needs to get out of the "Barlow syndrome" and quit dancing.

Too much dancing behind the line for Dixon...
