  • Will Duke be here week 1?

    That’s good. A force to wreckin’ with.

  • I know there was a point in time when Duke was the only player we had that was good but Duke isnt that good. He fumbles. ??‍♂️

    Would seem to me that after 8 games chubb and Duke might very well have a good rotational rhythm going. Would u fuck with that after 8 gsmes?

    As Nickers said. Duke is journeyman status. 3rd down back quality. Not lead back material. Hunt lead the league in rushing. That's top 10 in the NFL (minimum) quality- elite in my book. You could argue when on the field, he's at least as good as Chubb. 

    Receiving out of the backfield? Hunt is mighty good at that, threat to take it to the house.  https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HuntKa00.htm

    Chubb + Hunt is a scary good rotation. Duke instantly becomes imminently expendable. Assuming Hunt plays up to his pre suspension level, we'd only be able to keep him for one more year with a RFA first round tender. After that, we wouldn't be able to afford to keep him around.

    And 3rd to win the AFC Championship right now......whoa!

    GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!

  • This isn't a Hunt vs Duke thread, I get it...you can't compare the two. The problem is that suspension. Could Hunt really get it in gear 8 games in? But apparently this is a moot point, it's reported Duke is being shopped.

  • Duke has his bags packed, he’s just waiting on a phone call. His place on this team became expendable once OBJ came in

    Slight exaggeration, but point is spot on... unless maybe you used a log scale???

    Hunt is simply at another level.

    How much better was it to draft Nick Chubb and send the Crow packing? Well that's about where I am with Hunt vs Johnson. Vast difference in abilities as RBs. Plus both Chubb and Hunt can catch out of the backfield, Johnson's biggest selling point in a trade.

    Potential trading spots for Johnson below:

  • I get everything i read here..but*  we still own over 50M in cap space & Dukes money is guarantee'd by browns next season anyway..besides the "it's not your money", i don't see Dukes trade value (nor money) not being worth the 8 games Hunt will be out.(3rd rounder paying 1.8M).If Dorsey can use Duke's trade value to go get his bridge RB during this draft? makes some sense..Duke lasting till trade deadline? sure,that may carry some risk? This is truly a toss up decision imo till Hunt's return..(and Duke ain't stupid)

  • I feel bad for Duke tbh. Because we're so stupid stacked on offense I almost feel like Duke vs hunt is a wash. In the roles they're gonna play, not sure theres a huge difference. As the "feature back"...sure, u take hunt. 

    Doesnt anyone else feel bad that hunt gets to Wayne Brady a bitch and then land here in clev just in time for the start of an era....while Duke who's been here since Pettine gets walked out...?

  • Hunt is a top back. Chubb looks to be a top RB. Duke Johnson is a talented receiving/3rd down back who we need this year. Big time.

    Only until Hunt comes back maybe. Have you watched how Hunt was used? He's just as good a receiver out of the backfield as Duke.

    Smh. Yea let’s just throw away Duke in the Garbage once we have 2 RBs in front of him on the depth chart.

    I wrote “this year” for a reason..

    It's a "moo point'. 

    It's a cow's opinion.
