I feel like you're still trying to get out of your blown evaluation on Dunbar in a previous thread. Still think scatbacks are easy to find?
That's what's going on. The narrative used to be that the guy couldn't play. Then you point out the multiple long plays he had in limited reps and it's ignored. Then there was the lamenting about him being overrated, which was really just the inverse of people sticking up for the guy specifically because he was being overlooked. Then last year came, and he went on an 85 catch/season rate--which is really good for a LB--and was our early season playmaker when Tony and Dez went down, and...pop. Another knee injury.
The injuries are a significant and obvious concern with this guy. Otherwise, he's exactly the kind of guy you want to have on the team taking up half a WR and half a RB spot. He's a solid player who can give you big plays when you're better players are drawing too much attention. He's an outlet for Tony, too. I was really looking forward to seeing those two play together with Dunbar's increased role before disaster struck, twice. Blarg.
