I disagree somewhat. Hines is a matchup-dependent runner who will have a couple of blow-up games, but also a lot of games where he is ineffective. Last season, Hines' 4.9 ypc was inflated by a really bad NYJ defense where he and JT were running through huge holes. In that game, he averaged 12 ypc and a whopping 7.5 yds after contact/attempt. He was getting 5 yds/attempt before even being contacted. In the other 16 games, he averaged 4 ypc and 1.5 yds after contact/attempt. So if they are using him on 3rd and 3, there isn't a whole lot of margin for error. I also think there is a bit of a misconception that Wentz was solely responsible for Hines having a "down year," when in reality, it was Reich who kept him off the field. Hines played about 4 less plays per game last season, which is about 68 less snaps in a 17-game season. Considering he had a target every 6 snaps last season, that's about 11 targets over the season he would have had. He would have still had less targets than 2020 (76 vs. 68), but the discrepancy would be much smaller.

I'm up for anything and defer to our overseas pals. If it causes a conflict I'll just create pecking order and auto draft, if needed.

So much of that is due to coaching too. Jordan Love may be discouraged as he is never going to get a chance to play so surprised the Packers haven't traded him. So why prepare hard if you are never going to play ? Justin Fields is looking better and better in his second year. Malik Willis looked good in his first preseason action but has a ways to go. My concern with him is his long windup, but very mobile and has a strong arm. Desmond Ridder looked good as well in his first preseason game, but its still only preseason. He has a good pedigree though, he played for Cincy and was on an undefeated team until they got beat by Alabama in the playoffs. Bottom line is it can take 2-3 years before you know what you have in a QB. But most fanbases and coaching staffs don't have that amount of time.
