Rule #1: If the coach doesn't think a player can play then the front office sure as hell won't extend a player. GM's do not do anything without coach involvement when it comes to precious cap space on extensions.Defender wrote: ↑Fri Jun 08, 2018 2:19 pm Contract extensions are handled by the front office.

If Chubb truly is the stud that many of us believe him to be, no number of competing RBs and no amount of cap spent on said RBs will stop him from taking hold of a 3-down role. Time will tell.

How much valuable insight could the front office get from an OC who has spent a few months in the building?Ice wrote: ↑Sat Jun 09, 2018 9:03 pmRule #1: If the coach doesn't think a player can play then the front office sure as hell won't extend a player.

Duke Johnson is a very talented pass catching RB. And, with his performance last year, it would be foolish for the Browns to not try to extend him. Having back up RB's is very important. And, Duke can be a change of pace guy for Nick Chubb as well.
But Nick Chubb is ELITE in my eyes. And I really don't understand why Michel is considered the elite pass catching RB out of Georgia and Nick Chubb can't catch at all. It baffles me.
Some quick stats:
Both Michel and Chubb played all 4 years of their college careers together.
Michel's best receiving year = 26 receptions
Chubb's best receiving year = 18 receptions
Michel averaged 9.7 yards per catch for his career.
Chubb averaged 11.6 yards per catch.
Michel averaged 6.1 yards per carry for his career.
Chubb averaged 6.3 yards per carry.
Michel is 5'11" 214 pounds and ran a 4.55 40 yard dash for a 66th percentile speed and didn't test enough to compile a SparQ
Chubb is 5'11" 227 pounds and ran a 4.52 40 yard dash for an 89th percentile speed and 98th percentile SparQ
When Todd Gurley went down, it was Nick Chubb who was the RB who made Georgia fans put Gurley in their rear view mirror, not Michel. And that was not only due to his elite physical skills, but due to his incredible vision and feel for the game. Chubb has a smoothness to his game that almost makes him looks slow, but he's not.
Chubb can do it all and I'll stand by my hours of film watching with my opinion that Nick Chubb is second to only Saquon Barkley in talent in this draft for RB's.
It's Duke owners that were hurt most with this signing, not Chubb owners. Though, it wouldn't surprise me to see Duke get a few carries here and there. That will mainly be 2018 though. As Chubb adjusts to the NFL and the Browns playbook, he will be featured more and more. And my prediction is that 2019 will see Nick Chubb easily in the top 10 fantasy RB's.
Are the Hyde owners starting to sweat yet?Browns To Ride The Hot Hand At RB
6/22: Cleveland Browns running backs coach Freddie Kitchens mentioned on Friday that the offensive staff plans to ride the hot hand at the running back position this upcoming season. The Browns have depth and versatility in the backfield with Carlos Hyde, Nick Chubb, and Duke Johnson all on the roster. Kitchens stated, “Ultimately, all three of those guys can run our running game. Duke can do a few more things in the passing game. Ultimately, we feel like that is a position of strength." This is not the news that fantasy owners want to hear, as three-way committees at running back are rarely helpful for fantasy purposes. Of the three backs, Johnson is the safest bet for fantasy, as his role as the pass-catching back is secure. Chubb remains a strong hold in dynasty formats who could eventually take over the lead role as the season wears on. --Matt Terelle - Rotoballer

Yeah I posted this in a different thread, but my projection for Chubb this year is what Mixon did last year. Obviously we should hope he does a bit better, considering the Browns’ OLine isn’t putrid like the Bengals. But I think Mixon’s numbers are a good expectation.kris_kapsner wrote: ↑Sat Jun 23, 2018 9:54 amAnd the RB coach is already raving about Chubb and his abilities.
This isn't a slam on Hyde. I think Hyde is definitely in the top 30 RBs in the NFL in skill set and should be a starter somewhere. But, Chubb is better and will win out the day. It's really too bad for Hyde and Hyde owners.
Also, Duke owners should not expect similar pass catching numbers to last year. He'll be serviceable as a spot starter in FF. But, with the receiving options and Chubb/Hyde already showing they can both catch the ball well also...can anyone imagine Duke catching 50+ balls? I can't. I see him coming in for 2-3 catches per game. Let's call it 3 and that gets him to 48 catches. Realistic with the WR/TE group now with the Browns. He'll also have less than 200 yards rushing.
Chubb won't be a RB1 this year though in my opinion. He'll climb there in 2019 though. 2018 look like low end RB2 to RB3 numbers...which could start slow and end up being strong RB2 performances toward the end of the season.
