The debate is how large his role is intended to be.

FWIW, I don't really buy the story that Hunt has lost a step. He definitely had a down year last season and looked sluggish, but IMO he's not old enough and doesn't have enough miles on him to be breaking down like that. He had the monster rookie year, but then didn't play a full season after that (suspension). It took him a couple seasons here to get up to heavier usage as he's always been the backup.

He's not 30 yet, and he hasn't even gone over 1k carries for his pro career.


I think he was dinged or something last year that was making him look bad.
