He was behind Kareem Hunt who had over 100 carries and Nick Chubb who had over 200 in 2022.  He didn’t get a chance.  When they were both hurt in 2021 he had over 500 yards on the ground and over 5 YPC including, I believe, a 200 yard game.  If that’s ‘pie in the sky’, I’ll have a slice.

You're fooling yourself.  Kareem Hunt wasn't all that efficient last year and they let both he and D'Ernest walk in free agency.  7 touches in 15 games behind 3.8 ypc Kareem Hunt and then a "nice knowin' ya" by the Browns front office and then the "here's $50 grand to come try out for the team" by us.  All I'm saying is expectations should be tempered significantly from where they are with him.
