He hasn't proven anything. I used to be down on Hyde, but he finally finished one season. And with a decent line I wouldn't have been surprised if he got 1200 yards. We have all seen Carlos have huge games. He just learned a new offense he still the best back on our team, and he just finished the season healthy probably because he dropped some weight. If it's not a guaranteed to be better like Dion Lewis I don't think it's worth it when we have momentum and have a chance to make the playoffs

Don't blame the Oline for Carlos' inability to stay healthy or be consitent.

The holes were there and we were one of the best teams blocking on inside runs which you would think would suit Carlos' skill set but he still struggled. A back just can't lower his head and run full blast into the line and hope he powers through. This isn't Ohio State. He has literally no patience or awareness and lacks the vision to be a back in an outside zone scheme.

There is a reason why Breida looked better than Hyde and it wasn't because the line blocked better for him.

But I never blamed it on the oline lol. I simply stated that I was down on Hyde until he finished a season. I highly doubt Penny will be as good as hyde. But we can revisit this in a year

Bottom line, Hyde will be in demand with teams like the Seahawks and the Lions FINALLY looking to address the problems they have at the RB spot. If not Penny, it could be Sony Michel, Kalen Ballage, Akrum Wadley, or someone else in the middle rounds that will take Hyde's place if he bolts for a big contract. It also means the Niners will have to shore up the interior of the line first in free agency or the draft to help Breida, Williams and RB #3 succeed.
