Understandable they gave him a lighter workload. I wonder how much more he will get throughout the next few games given how serviceable Hunt has been.7 carries for 44 yards
Hunt also had 7 carries, but only 15 yards.Understandable they gave him a lighter workload. I wonder how much more he will get throughout the next few games given how serviceable Hunt has been.
Thanks. I didnt look at Hunt's tally yesterday. It will be interesting to see how much the Chiefs lean on Pacheco coming off a broken leg. I hope it's full steam ahead.Hunt also had 7 carries, but only 15 yards.
With the resurgence in importance of the RB position this year, it is pretty likely another team would grab Pacheco for something like a 3x$5 or 6 million deal after next year.IP has just had a great career already and will be a part of Chief's fokelore for a long time. And you know what happens when he is due real $$$- they will drop him like a hot rock.
But this kid knows how to get that crowd going- hoping for another big 5+ years for him...He makes me think he could also make an OJ Anderson transformation to get a few extra years as well.
Agree- the point was more that, he has become an absolute fan fav...even if he recovers fully, has a great last part of the year and SB win again- the owners would drop him like a hot rock once he is in line for the check.With the resurgence in importance of the RB position this year, it is pretty likely another team would grab Pacheco for something like a 3x$5 or 6 million deal after next year.
Not the huge money some guys get, but it would still be quite an accomplishment for where he was on draft day.
