JoeJoe88 1,164 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 It would appear the writing is on the wall for Hyde to be out of San Francisco. Where does he end up? Seems to be quite a few teams that could use him. Jets, Seattle, Colts and Bucs come to mind. Personally, Detroit seems like a great fit to me. Link to post Share on other sites

He'd be an asset in Seattle, Indy, TB, and Detroit. I really like the Detroit fit. I do not see Seattle signing him as I suspect they like Davis/Prosise/Carson/Mckissic. However, they SHOULD. Adding a rb like Hyde that can create on his own would lessen the load on the oline and Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites

There's several teams around the league that could use his services if you think about it, especially if Lev stays put. Oakland? Link to post Share on other sites

Dreams And Dwightmares 3,229 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I hope he stays and doesn't see them spend a high pick on competition, but this is Shanahan and Hyde wasn't hand picked by him. I'm definitely worried. But we will see. I haven't heard they are looking to move on from him myself, but I wouldn't be shocked either. Link to post Share on other sites

Shanahan definitely tried to replace him though. He drafted tevin Coleman and made him the starter and was trying to phase Freeman out. Then Coleman was immediately injured and Freeman showed he belonged and Shanahan had no choice but to roll with the better back. Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt hyde will make it to training camp if they plan on training him so there will be no rb competition like coleman and freeman had. Also some may forget freeman showed no signs of being a breakout rb from the previous season and while he and coleman were in a rotation start of season. he just clicked the minute coleman got injured and he never looked back.

Winky 1,999 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 15 carries a game and 59 receptions last year... he adapted and became a pretty solid part of the program. Breida is a nice compliment and Williams is pretty undefined. Disclaimer - I don't see Joe Williams as NFL caliber, so (in this case) I don't put stock in the hand-picked thing... Winning is all that counts and Hyde proved his worth despite all the noise last off-season. Can't see Shanny cutting him loose, at all... but if he does, it'll great for the team that gets him.

He's due for a new contract, so you'll have to pay him more. Also, while he is a solid RB, he's not a game changer and not a natural fit for Shanahan's system. There's 4 or 5 RBs in this draft that would probably be the same or better than Hyde: Barkley, Michel, Guice, Penny... Maybe Chubb, Jones, or Freeman. Jones with his speed may actually be a sneaky good fit. Basically just dollars and cents. Link to post Share on other sites
hoppychokes 865 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I could see SF going for Ballage or another speedster and letting Hyde leave. Williams will never be a starter, I'm glad he got a chance to be drafted and be in the NFL, but he was never going to be a NFL calibre back. Link to post Share on other sites

I do think ideally Shanny would want a quicker back that can get upfield just a tick faster on all those outside zone running plays. I love Hyde and think he's a beast, pulling for him to get paid and get the lead back role somewhere, but Brieda seemed to hit the creases faster than he did. Link to post Share on other sites

Hyde is an average starting running back. Nothing against him; he's just not good or great. The best he has done is 13th in yards from scrimmage. Breida does look like a better fit in SF. They certainly can add to that backfield in the draft. I think Kerryon Johnson could be a sneaky contributor. I agree that Ronald Jones II is the perfect fit; especially, if he has continued to bulk and maintain athleticism. If Hyde was on his rookie contract for 2018 we wouldn't have this conversation (even though that conversation was going around by the bay area writers in July 2017). The issue is that smart teams don't pay top dollar for average players ***COUGH-COUGH-Washington*** Link to post Share on other sites

The issue is that smart teams don't pay top dollar for average players ***COUGH-COUGH-Washington*** I appreciate what Hyde has done for fantasy (9th in PPR) but everyone is right... he’s not worthy of starter money. What’s interesting is (assuming SF doesn’t draft a RB early) is that Breida has the opportunity to put up some very good numbers. Breida is currently completely under the radar. If you (we) can get him as your 3rd RB he could be a steal. I’ll be thinking about Breida around the same time as Aaron Jones. As for Hyde, his best option is someplace like Miami as their 1b guy. Here’s some food for thought: San Francisco’s offensive line was the worst run-blocking unit in the NFL last season, per Football Outsiders. Hyde managed to produce more positive yards after contact than some of the league’s best running backs, which might indicate he’s due for a strong season should his blocking improve. This makes me think Hyde might be worth a stash if he appears undervalued by ADP. Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to comment on how poor the SF OL has been but decided not to...especially since I already commented that it appeared Breida was a better system fit. Having said that, I believe in his raw talent but the clock is ticking on that one. Link to post Share on other sites

Hyde would probably be an upgrade in the running game, and a downgrade in the passing game. The Steelers could find someone else for 3rd downs... The Steelers would probably get a high compulsory draft pick loosing Bell in the Free Agency. Link to post Share on other sites

I saw at least 2 great catches on wheel routes this season where he completely beat his LB. Link to post Share on other sites
