Nick Chubb Thread: Chubb = Stud

[SteveMaddensShoes]

I just watched his runs. I think he has feet that are too choppy and unsure. He looked quick at times,but 80% of the time I almost feel like he doesn’t know where the play is going. Or he doesn’t understand the flow of the play. I’m not sure how to describe it. To me he doesn’t look comfortable. Maybe some more time will help. I think he can make the moves in the open field but either his vision or comprehension looks off.

Did you watch him tonight? It was basically a 180.

The only vid that's out there that I could find, currently. I watched every carry tonight, he looked good. My favourite run was a 3 yard run. 2nd and 1, and he gains 3 yards (25 seconds). He makes changes direction twice and makes 2 tacklers miss behind the LOS. Great run.

I was basing it off tonight. Week 1 the line was too bad to tell anything.

He definitely flashed at times. Still think he doesn’t run as decisively as Hyde did. I think Hyde looked better but maybe it was an oline difference. Just my uneducated 2c. I want him to figure it out. To my rookie eyes he looked off.

Yeah, IDK what to say then, I thought he read his blocks well, created yards on his own on some runs, and really maximized his yardage tonight. To each their own.

[SteveMaddensShoes]

Yeah, no worries. Just one opinion. And I’m certainly in the minority I’m guessing. And like I said, I hope I’m wrong for his sake.

All true but you have to remember Hyde is a vet now (and a good player) and Chubb is a rookie. Would be stoked if Chubb came out running like a 6yr vet, I don't think Chubb will take Hyde's starting role this year but next year all bets are off

I was high on Hyde coming out, at least in terms of his class, which was weak at the top end, but I honestly agree with you. I think Chubb will spell Hyde (and Hyde tends to miss some games, so may have an opportunity at some point this year), but the Baker handing off to Chubb will be more of a thing next year.

Side note. Chubb is splitting out as a WR, and nobody is talking about this. He may have sneaky PPR upside (nothing crazy, but we haven't discussed this) and I watched the game tonight, and he lined up out wide multiple times, and also caught a few passes, one on a check down, one on a screen.

he looked great. so happy i have him in 3 leagues. he's gonna be useful for a few years.

how many tacklers did he make miss? great moves in the open field and inside as well. was that edmonds he juked on the td run? he froze him then changed direction subtly and by the time edmonds realised he had to move sideways it was too late as the blocker took him out.

i'm so pleased with his game.

Yeah, Hyde looked really good last night. The thing with him, like you said, he misses games mainly because he dishes out so much punishment out there, it’s fun to watch but not real smart on his part, lol. I’ve got Chubb on 3 teams and was able to get Hyde on 2 of the 3, because I also think Chubb is more of a 2019 thing. I’m excited about what I saw out of him though, I think he will only get better.

Much more impressive than week 1 of the preseason.

The Browns have really loaded themselves up with talent. It’ll be fun to watch how all of this shakes out for Chubb. I still believe he’s one of the safest RB’s to draft from this draft class long term.

[kris_kapsner]

Yes, the dd is intentional in the title.

Nick Chubb is a flat out stud.

He was a stud in college and kept 1st round pick Sony Michel running as a back up. He took over for Gurley as a freshman and looked better than Todd as a true Freshman. Without the one knee injury, Chubb would have rivalled Barkley in this draft for the #1 pick.

And he showed why this past weekend. Note his vision, tackle breaking ability and the ability to shift into another gear to pull away from corners and safeties.

Chubb now has 146 yards and 2 TD's on 10 carries. 14.6 yard average. Not too shabby.

Of course that's being blown up by the two long TD's this past weekend. But, before that he was averaging 6 yards per carry. Chubb is a stud and should be sought while Hyde is holding down his value in my opinion.

Trying to buy no one is selling

[waynesworld1234]

'People' say he's capped by not being a pass catcher. Is it an opportunity thing with Duke Johnson around, blocking thing as he's a rookie, or has he never flashed that pass catching ability before that scouts see in other RB's like Kamara, Barkley, Gurley, Michel, etc.?

[Phaded]

If you think he is a stud - fine.

But his performance against the Raiders should not be any semblance of your evidence. This is normal against the Raiders.
