yeah, luck happens.  My favorite 89 play is that one where he broke what appeared to be 57 tackles vs Houston and came out of that pile for a long and easy TD.  Lot of luck involved.  But probably still required 89 to take advantage of that scenario.  Despite all that luck, a lot of that was still 89. 

Cool, so now after one play Chuba is Steve Smith who routinely broke legit tackles on a regular basis.

yeah, that wasn't the point I was making at all. 

just that a super lucky play doesn't always completely void what a player did....and the outcome isn't the same for every player that would have found himself in same lucky scenario. 

Chubba got lucky.  But there was plenty also shown on that play that was Chubba being different than some other RBs we have seen on our roster.

That play was doomed from the jump.  While it was a really good run in the end, a ton of luck was involved.  FIFTEEN players were falling around all around him, the 16th (Colt player gave up thinking the play was over) and he somehow managed to get through.  The Zylstra block was the other key to the play.  Again great play, but extremely lucky.

I wouldn't call it lucky, if he doesn't keep working, and maintaining his balance this is a stuffed run; aside from that Zylstra staying engaged. 

This is an example of a player making something out of nothing.

Cool, but if you hadn't read my previous posts, you might want to check them out.  I took nothing away from the kid's effort.  However, apparently saying it was a great run, although lucky is not sufficiently homer-ish enough for the Huddle.

Gotcha. It was defiantly lucky.   Got no problem with that added in

How about a little luck and alot of determination.  I thought he was going down but maintained his balance and broke it outside.  Good Running backs do that.

From that perspective,  Joe Montana was the luckiest QB to ever play the game, as he was at his best, when the play broke down.
