He has earned the right to spell CMC during the game without fear he is just going to do nothing.  He is proving he can be a solid RB2 for years to come.  Would really like to see some 2 RB sets with CMC in the slot.

Bro... haven't we been saying this since CMC was drafted? I wonder why it's never been utilized?

I would think they just didn't trust him to tote the rock.  But he has proved he can. Now as to why they didn't use Mike Davis (a proven RB) with CMC split out in the first couple of games....I got nothin'

He did what a backup should do he a had a workman like game but that was too many touches to give him 30 plus because if he’s going to get that many touches then he needs to produce at least 180 total yards and maybe a Td.Let’s see what he can do when he’s facing more 8 man boxes like the elite backs because the Eagles D was more concerned with stoping DJ yesterday then worrying about Hubbard avg 4 yd  on a ton of touches.

I only got to see part of the game, but according to the stats/box score, he was targeted six times and caught five.  So assuming the box score is correct there could only be one drop.  

Yeah, his first one was dropped. He caught the rest.

Yeah, Chuba played fairly well all things considered.  He is not CMC of course, but a solid player nonetheless.

 

It is very disconcerting that he had more rushing yards than the entire Eagles team, our defense shut them down for the most part, and we still lost.   Rhule and Brady are being criticized for being to conservative, but the ironic thing is that had we passed less and ran more, we had a better shot at winning.  At least in this game.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
