Only thing that calls this into question is his durability. He's a very talented player but won't be the long-term guy if he can't stay healthy.
Gore spoiled us all these years with his consistency and durability.

Do you believe Carlos Hyde is our long term solution at running back?

More than fair of an assessment. Lots of good RB's can be obtained in FA&/or draft. Not worried.

Gaskins, Draughn and Davis are who Baalke obtained.
Harris might work out.

Legarette Blount and Danny wood head anyone? Deangelo Williams still has some juice left.. lots of solid RB's out there and that's without the draft and wouldn't cost much.

Has a career average of 4 yards a carry
Has never rushed for more than 470 yards in a season
Is not very good in the passing game
Is always hurt
He does block well
Career long of only 34 yards
I would say no. Maybe he should be our short yardage back.

I really can't understand how anyone would be in favor of drafting Fournette given all our needs and the way the NFL works these days.
Yes Hyde can be our future starter, obviously he needs to stay healthy and we need legit depth behind him but Hyde is a lot better than most starting backs in the league.

If Chips here next year they should try to swing a deal for Devonta Freeman from Atlanta
Or just draft a young cheap RB because this upcoming draft is insane with talent at RB

Injury prone is the issue. Other than that he is a productive and good RB. The entire offense revolves around him. As you can see without him healthy and playing we have trouble getting a 1st down.

Has the ability but the injury factor seems to out weigh his talent. Running backs have a short shelf life.

I see Frank Gore hasn't missed a game in 4.5 years.
