Duke Dumps his Agent
-
with all the weapons we have on the team....i wonder if keeping hunt is the right call. I suspect thats why some of u are so adamant about keeping duke aroubd....xause of how many years josh burned us. But understand duke needs to look out for #1 first and foremost. He was already gonna be tge 2nd guy behind chubb...so i completely understand how dropping to 3rd on the depth chart isnt going to sit well with a guy who's proven he can produce.
Frankly id have zero prob if the browns released hunt and went with chubb/duke. No hard feelings against hunt....im just saying im good with going with a guy who isnt suspended for 8 games.
if there was a sort of a gentlemans agreement thst if duke produces he stays at #2 even when hunt comes off suspension....but we all know thatbaint happenin.
..i wonder if keeping hunt is the right call.
keeping Hunt is the right call..Duke already made his Call..

well yeah now it is....its too lste to go back to duke. Look Hunt may keep his ass clean and if he does so...dorsey looks golden grabbing him. If he doesnt, and we lost duke on thst gamble...not so much. I was as traumatized by josh as any browns fan.....so yeah im paranoid hunts a problem child.
but heres hoping im completely fucking wrong. Cause i still think duke abd chub would still be the best backfield in the NFL. If duke was just a depth guy this would be a non issue.....but we all know he isnt. He's not a heavy lifter but pair him with one and u have urself a dangerous backfield
-
cleve, i refuse to jump up & down over losing a 3rd down back that was no better than Isaiah Crowell once out of 3 seasons..Yes, Duke makes a good pair with Chubb, But Duke yet again, can't beat out Chubb..RB's like CJ Anderson are always training to take Rams to Super bowls..Watch Duke chip a pass rusher than watch Hunt flatten his. Am just going to sit back & enjoy The Dorse pulling Duke's puppet strings as Rosie house, once again promises the world ? to land his players 1 year deals..Crow knows & Pryor knows & Perriman knows.. This has now turned into a "do for me, like you did for Antonio Brown Mr. Drew" the steelqueers took a 5th rounder..Duke ain't AB and Dorse has a no give Duke away plan.. ?popcorn ready to add salt
-
IF we trade him, even for a late rounder, the other team will most likely insist upon redoing his contract. If we cut him, good luck to he & Rosenhaus. After all, as Gumby noted, ol' Drew certainly got Pryor & Crow set for life, didn't he? LOL.
Keeping him, IMO, is no longer an option.

I suppose l’m just spitballing here, but with the agent change Duke really has an opportunity to change the narrative a bit. Sure, he likely still wants out, but he can take a different angle here.
I’m sure Rosenhaus thinks he knows how to help players get what they want, and it’s reasonable to think the approach Duke was taking with his former agent wasn’t working, so safe bet that a different strategy is forthcoming.
Instead of standing there talking about “trade me because l don’t feel wanted”, it could be more along the lines of “looking forward to the opportunity to show the NFL what l can do”, which imo is a more win-win approach.

Duke is a nice player to have on your roster.. But , does he get you over the hump?.. Nope!!

He has hired Drew Rosenhaus
who didn't see this coming??
..John Dorsey asked.."Does he now wear Brown & Orange"? too..

Am going to give some million-aire a advertising idea ?.. The phase "If you don't wear Brown & Orange? You don't Matter" needs to be made in a US Mailbox vinyl wrap ? them bastards will pop up everywhere in every State, including England & Spain...they can have my cut ? (but i want Baker kicked back as John Dorsey in one corner)

no but neither does hunt. Its the combo with chubb that makes duke as well as hunt, such a promising backfield.

Hunt is 5x's the back Duke is..Hence why Dontrell Hilliard went "Ahead" of duke..

i wouldnt be comfortable with him being the feature back here. Id be asking for a carlos hyde type to do the heavy lifting. Does hunt catch well out of the backfield?

Yes he does. Quite well.
All of our backfield participants can catch the ball.

I do... judging by what has transpired.. Wake up from your nap already!..

Well. sorry. We know that you are a completely unreliable source to ask. Every depth chart out there still has Duke ahead of Hilliard. And I believe that will remain the case until and unless Duke is moved.
He simply has proven that he has more skills. His career production is vastly superior. NOTHING that has happened recently has changed that. Asking for a trade certainly does not. If he were to be dropped on the depth chart, then his trade value would be diminished.
So...neither his capabilities nor his production put him behind Hilliard, and certainly for return value they would not list him behind Hilliard.
Even If I am taking a nap...then you must be walking around in a stupor.

Actually, probably not. Hunt is more like Chubb than he is like Duke. He is a more power runner, not 3rd down, playing in the slot half the time back. Could Hunt do that role? I suspect so. But that is not his forte.
You underestimate Hunt's real pass catching skills out of the backfield and the dual threat he presents on 3rd down. He is a combination of Chubb and Duke and actually better at it than both, especially with a quality QB running the show.

It apparently is too hard for you read between the lines then..
