Message: [QUOTE="Slippin Jimmy, post: 3548350, member: 9330"] Controversial take but I think Hunt was a little overrated. He was tough, consistent, and by 2008 he was a really crafty playmaker. What he lacked though was a kicking game (outside of his grubber, which was excellent) and the x-factor that Walsh has. We couldn't win the 2006 comp with Hunt as fullback. We might not even win the 2022 origin series with a young Hunt as fullback. In both of those situations we needed a fullback that was more of a threat than Hunt. I'm not saying you'd always pick Walsh over Hunt if you were picking a team. There are definitely situations where you want a reliable fullback who will nail the 2nd man play every time and is robust enough to take tough carries out of yardage. But overall if you had to make a decision on signing one of them to a long term deal at this age it would be Walsh for me. [/QUOTE]
