Is Kendell an every down back?

If you are asking me if Kendall hunter can take 20+ carries in every game for a consecutive seasons, no.

But he can he be a productive 1000+ all purpose back in our system. HELL YA!

Like a Brian Westlbrook.
I think what your getting at is a 3 down back and Kendall can be that , can he carry the ball 25 to 30 times a game ever? I wouldnt put that on him. I think with him we will eventually in the next couple of seasons find that compliment back that can pound the ball 10 times and him 15 to 20. I know Kendall needs to work on his blocking assignments, I seen him miss a big block in Pittsburgh the other night which Alex was able to manuver around and make the LB miss. Luckily it wasnt James Harrison. Those are the kind of plays that make Colin our starting QB.

They all said Reggie Bush couldnt be an every down back. He seems to be doing that so yes Hunter could be but I doubt it.

He has only had 3 games with 20 carries or more. Not an every down back and I don't think Hunter can be for us either. But even Gore looks more effective in this rotation.

Maybe, I should say- can he be a starter for us down the road? I'm sure we'd have some sort of rotation.

Yes, he can be our starter.
