The 2002 OL was terrible. The team stopped playing after Emmitt got the record. Hutchinson had not played in 4 years and he still had equal numbers and only lost 1 more game than Carter who came from college.
Yeah, I can see where you can draw the Carter can win, but Hutchinson will be on a practice squad at best, assumption.
Oy, I forget the 2001 team was awesome on the OL and just fought to the death to finish wth the same 5 win record. It must have been all the big name free agents we lost. OR perhaps seeing Hutch fumble away game after game caused the team to quit?
Hutch isnt on any team right now in essence because he is distanced from this one. The longer he hangs in limbo the worse the case for him to get a regular roster spot this year on any roster. Its possible he follows in the footsteps of Anthony Wright who spent the seaosn of his release on the PS of the Ravens. The differenc eis Wright was actually way ahead of where Hutch is at this point.
Carter started 0-2 in a horrid fashion as a rookie. He finished a strong 3-3 with noticeable improvement in just about every area. Hutch went 2-7 through 9 games and looked worse at seasons end. Teams felt they could blitz him at will because he didnt make them pay for doing so and seemed to fumble every time he was hit.
Feel free to buy stock in hutch.com. There's a sucker born every minute.
I hope Hutch gets a chnace to play and ultimately develop but he was never better than QC here and never should have played. It isnt his fault but Bruce Coslets.
I actually had this argument or a very similar one with Hutch's Dad on this forum's original site before his rookie season. I told him playing Hutch would be the worst thing they could go to the kid. He didnt see it at the time but I am sure he now agrees.
Perhaps you'd like to wager on who has a better season: QC or Hutch? Or Perhaps you want to quit while your behind and hope noone remembers you mentioning Hutch at all this off-season.
