Saw this quote on a CBS sports replay after the game, referring to Charbs. Found it funny thought I'd share.
"Why Walker when you can run"

Funny, yes. But one really good game and some are calling for him to start over K9. 
K9 is clearly the better back.

Yes he is, clearly. Charbs played amazing TODAY. He's not near the back that K9 is.
We have 2 good backs. That's a good thing, right?

With all due respect, might I suggest you guys define what “better” means to you? Without that shared understanding, this recurring debate will never be productive.

More talented yes!!, but the better RB for this team right now?.. No.. I'm sorry to all Hawks faithful over here, but Walker hasn't proven to be the better RB this year that's the flat out truth here... I'm no expert, but I know if your Oline is struggling you need a one cut RB to relieve the pressure on them and Zach can and will do that, while Walker lll has danced and also missed holes all year....call me crazy, but the MacDonald "You gotta earn it" hit today and Walker lll is on notice...Funny, yes. But one really good game and some are calling for him to start over K9.

I don't think the point of the quote had anything to do with replacing walker. I thought about adding more context to it because I was worried the thread might go that way, but I didn't. This wasn't a slight on Walker at all it was just a funny "pun"

Funny as over the last month or two I was reading the opposite. That without an oline to make a hole Charbs can't do anything.

too many people paranoid about shit they can’t control. People are gunna think any praise for Charbs is “speak for replacing Walker”

Perfect example of someone defining what "better" means to them and how they think the "better" player is contributing more to the Hawks' success.

Never said Charbs was more talented, but he is a RB that needs carries to get going and stay going, he's not a change of pace RB he's the workhorse.... And please post those articles on your readings about Charbs I'd love to read them aswell...

I mean both arguments are real, I've heard the same about Walker from fans and also people with their opinions on social media, but my opinion is mine to own on Charbs over Walker at this point..

What we have is three different kinds of backs. Maybe four with Holani. Point is there are times when Charb will be more productive, while at other times Walker is better suited. That is a good problem to have.
As for Charb being slow of foot I think he proved today he has speed to match any circumstance. He ran away from guys who are known for their speed. Not once but several times. Watch the highlights. Charbs can RUN.

I'm a huge believer in making Charbs the RB1 and having KW3 as RB2 while we give Kenny Mac more touches and see how far he can take it.... But. A lot of fans are getting offended by this opinion and I don't understand why..

I'll take Charbs since he isn't made of glass, like Walker is. Love Walker, when he actually plays.
I would say we have three good backs Macintosh look pretty good today
