Why not give Hunter one game this season. He is inactive again. Come on McVay.
Why????? Not Hunter

If you can’t block you don’t tote the rock. Kid needs to improve on his psss protection.
How do we know if he can't block? If he has any speed and rudimentary football ability he could help on ST.

How do you know that is the case? Has that been said by McVay or anyone in the organization? Or are you placing your own assumptions on the kid?
I don’t think Coach WOULD say. It seems obvious to me that something in his game is deficient
Yeah if McVay thought he was ready he'd be playing. I am going to defer to the guys who see him all week at practice.
Because he’s been inactive most of the season
Sure, something in his game is deficient, but we don't know for sure what that is.
Is it blocking? Inability to pick up the scheme? All around suckage?

So do we assume that if a RB in this system is struggling with blitz pickup that he also can’t find a spot on a struggling ST’s unit through the last 17 weeks?
I’m not buying it. My guess is he isn’t working hard enough or showing that competitive sense of urgency that McVay likes to zero in on. Tutu Atwell went through this early on.

The inactives speak to something the kid isn't doing right. Rivers is over him and passing him on the depth chart should be easy but apparently not for Hunter.
It took Corum a while to pass Rivers. Everyone assumed something was wrong with him, too. It’s a mistake to assume that passing Rivers is easy.
Also, it's clear that McVay has high standards for his young RBs.

yah, cause people with rudimentary football ability have done wonders for us on ST so far this year
I think we will plenty of Hunter nex year.
Still, I want the 6'2" 230-240 lb RB on our roster who can run a 4.5.
What McVay would do with a RB would be sickening.................. for the other team.

They Probably don't trust him to pick up blitzes with Stafford in there. Still, you would think they could throw him out there for a couple of first down runs just to give the kid a couple carries this year.
but he can pass pro. We have a 37 year old QB. Do you remember the hit that ended Steve Youngs career? it was ex ram Phillips that whiffed and let Aenas Williams in. You don't see much of the RBs missing their blocking assignment on this team. It probably goes with understanding the system as well. Plus I am sure he can run.
I watched him quite a bit in college and he was not asked to pass protect much, but when he did, he did not always square up properly and was driven into the QB. It was also mentioned as one of his work ons in his draft profile.
Many rookie RB’s struggle with this and the fact that Rivers is playing over him speaks volumes in that area IMHO.
