For one, I don't believe this is the right system for him, I think he's better off in I-Formation or Split backs following a Fullback. Add that to the fact that this guy just CANNOT stay healthy.
Both he and Mike Davis need a change of scenery.
That is the point, WE are better off in the Power I formation in the first place. This current Chip Kelly college zone-read BS running game sucks, in fact schematically as a whole he sucks.
While I get the point about Hyde not being tough enough as a 3-down back, we should have signed multiple decent backs (not the crap we have now) to complement him in our run game. Just look around the league, most teams have at least a 2-back approach to their ground game. Look at the Falcons, they have Freeman and Coleman and the Cowboys have Elliott and Morris, etc. Just look at us, other than Hyde who is 100% legit, we have noone else.
I wouldn't trade Hyde. Get him some proper help and he will be healthier plus he will be much more eager to step up his game to compete with someone who can actually play RB as opposed to the crap we have now. Fire Baalke, draft a decent back and not some snail like Mike Davis who is absolutely useless.
