Trade Peyton Hillis

Does anyone else who posts want to see if Hillis can be a starting back in this league? I liked watching the guy get chance to run the ball last year, he did a good job for the few games he filled in last season, with injuries to the starters. The guys talents at full back are noticed and needed in the offense, but this guy has more talent than being a blocking back that get's a few touches here and their. Give him a chance Denver management, trade him to one of the many losing teams in the NFL who possibly, would take a chance on the man. He can catch and run. The guy runs hard, and from what I saw, it looked like he punished tacklers trying to tackle him.
What do the rest of you think? Trade Hillis so he has a better chance to play in this league?

I believe he neesds to get a few more touches too...but I would hate to see him traded. We go into this last half and all it takes is one injury and without him to fill that role then we are going to end up like last year.

We don't need that.

He is very talented and runs with passion...no clue why McDaniels is not letting him run on some second and short downs.

Is it possible that McDaniels is using the Hillis fumbles as an excuse to put Hillis on the backburner while he justifies his off-season decisions by playing his free agents and his draft picks?

I'm just speculating here. I like McDaniels. Buckhalter and Moreno are obviously doing pretty good too, and I agree with the injury point.
