I believe this will be the week where you see more of Dunbar... He is blazing fast and has legit quickness, I can see him running the delayed draws and the quick screens etc. The only way to get over the fumbles is to get the reps. Thoughts????
 
You might be right. Might see a lot of flare passes to him as the Chargers have had a hard time tackling this year.

I hope so, I have big hopes for him. Just those darn fumbles...my trust in him has gone down...
 
Ah yes....this means 2 fumbles, and the Rue begins on the message board.

He'll be fine, I know he's working on eliminating that problem with guys like Garrett and Callahan on him.
 
I'll be happy to see what Dunbar has to show us, but only when DeMarco needs a breather.
 
If we see much of anything at all from Dunbar, it could hardly be much less than last week -- lol. I imagine at some point we'll have to lengthen his leash a bit to determine if he's learned his lesson about hanging onto the football. Dunbar can readily be a game-breaker for either his team or the opponent.

If he's proven one thing thus far, it's if you carry the ball low and loosely instead of high and tight, the extent of your playing time will be limited -- Garrett saw to that. At some point, he'll assuredly be given a second chance. Lance's potential for making the big play is just too tempting to consider keeping him out of the lineup for good.

I'm also somewhat inclined to believe Coach Garrett will be reasonably cautious in affording him more reps until he's duly proven himself in practice to have become significantly more reliable. Ball security is much too crucial for any team risk taking it for granted. Like most of us, I'll be looking forward to seeing good things from Dunbar.
 
I wonder if we will have to have one of these threads every week until he finally has a break out game or he commits more fumbles and seals his fate with this team.

The potential for the player is there...don't know if he will ever live up to it though.

I disagree as I think he's a great change of pace to Murray and has big play capabilities. I'dlike to see him get 10 or so touches a game.
 
i don't think he will get the carries to have big rushing yards. but i could see him used out of the backfield as a reciever some. get him in space and let him use his speed.i expect us to be passing more in this game than the rams so i don't expect him to get alot of carries. you want murray to get around that 20 count and that won't leave a whole lot for dunbar. but it's not the number so much as the result to me
 
Not really sure where the gut feeling is coming from? He puts the ball on the ground too much and will be lucky to get 5 touches. Just my two cents. If he shows up big and does well I'm all for it though, just not thinking about him as a factor at this point.
