Pretty much his story from childhood to now. Good football player and high character guy.

“I’m somebody that believes in doing the right thing,” Hubbard said. “The thing is, I can be a vocal person, I can speak up when need be, and that’s just what I do.”

He could have come out a season earlier and may have been picked earlier than the fourth round, but getting his diploma was a goal. Hubbard never missed a day of school growing up. For anything.

The sound of fellow graduates cheering him on as he walked across the stage in Stillwater, Okla., to get his diploma a month ago meant so much to the Hubbard family, watching virtually, a country away, especially after some of the backlash he received for speaking out against his coach.

“A big thing about me going to the States was obviously going to play football at a high level, but also going to mature as a young man and to get my education,” Hubbard said. “I wanted to make sure that I did that when I left.

“ … I also wanted to show the kids that are gonna come after me, after everybody else, that school’s important. Football and all this stuff can take you a far way but education, and having that knowledge, is a different type of strength.”

Since Chuba is considered a vocal person,i hope he is wise and picks and choses the right time to be vocal and the right time to remain silent.

I am strongly pulling for him to succeed and be an asset to our team, so i don't want him to get the reputation as a trouble maker or malcontent.

Did you read the article? Nothing says he is or has been a trouble maker.

When he speaks, his tone is even. Every word is deliberate. A quiet person who likes to keep to himself, attention is not something Hubbard seeks or particularly enjoys.

When he sees something that he thinks is wrong, however, he has no problem being forthright. He got that from his mother, Candace.

Great article - liked him at Ok State and really a fan after reading this. Thanks for sharing LP!

As Panthers’ fans in general, we have to get over this phobia of players becoming potential trouble makers just because they’re outspoken or have different personalities or have made past mistakes. Give them a chance to prove themselves. This is a new regime and days of drafting choirboys are over - thank God!

There is a difference between this and Eric Reid.  Reid, even though I believed in his cause, could not get me to believe in him because he attacked others for not standing with him--even when it was on the field.  A locker room cancer.  I support your right to disagree with me, even if you are wrong.  I am not entitled to forcibly use physical aggression to make you conform, which is, essentially, what Reid tried to do here. (Fighting before a game, cheap shots on field).  That is exactly the kind of behavior he is opposing, but on a smaller scale. 
Chuba does not seem to fit that profile.

How much longer do you have to keep that avatar? Asking for a friend…

And? Everyone has a right to take a stand for their beliefs and opinions. If you stand for nothing, you’ll fall for anything, right? 
 

 

I’m going to throw a flag on this.  Chubba went to Twitter to voice his displeasure, rather than speak first to Gundy.  It’s entirely possible that it could have been resolved at that point without dragging the team and the university into it.

Hypothetical scenario:  Chubba sees something that offends him during his tenure as a Panther.  I for one would rather see him go to Rhule or Fitterer first and discuss it privately rather than fire something off on Twitter or to the media, where the issue will get inflamed and enlarged.

There is a reason that HR policies direct an employee to speak to their Supervisor first.  Conflict resolution or grievances are always best handled at the lowest organizational level possible.  Pro tip: the higher up a complaint escalates without successful resolution, the more acrimonious the final outcome for both parties.  

Even though I think he was impulsive and showed poor judgment in how he handled the previous incident, he is a Panther now and I will be pulling for him to be successful here.  He’s young and we all learn as we go through life.

Some fans out there view these "outspoken" players as troublemakers based on RACE and not anything else, though.  smh.   (and i'll leave this at that)

I have zero issue with Chuba telling it like it is.   All I want is for him to play well when he gets his chance on the field.  🙂

You aren't necessarily wrong but digging a little deep, IMO.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
