Chuba Hubbard is a NFL starter

[mbarbour21]

I don't think there is a huge drop off in rushing, but CMC is far beyond Chewy when it comes to receiving. CMC is better than a lot of WRs to be honest. Great hands, great quickness, and great technique. Dude is special.

Except they called 17 running plays vs 49 passing plays. I think we know why they lost yesterday. 

[Fox007]

He just can't catch.

He has been hitting the holes with burst and if we ever actually stuck to the run. OFC that would mean run blocking...entire office is just trash. It's like we have some nice individual puzzle pieces but when we try to put them all together we get into an argument and flip the table and start kicking the pieces around.

Oh and also yall remember when the ends of some of the puzzle pieces would bend and the edge would crisp up and start flaking off. That represents all our injury prone offensive players.

The problem is Chuba drops 9/10 check down passes. But other than that, yea he’s a quality starter. Drop off from CMC is drastic though. Good enough on a team with a good QB to take advantage of our WRs so the defenses can’t just crowd the line and cover the passes easily with three or four DBs.

Because the giants stacked the box and sat on routes because Darnold sucks?

[ForJimmy]

Yep. Sam actually has a pocket and time to throw and throws that crap…

You have to keep running to set up play action, even if it might be into a stacked box. They just got shut down by a BAD Giants defense. Darnold was terrible but so was the playcalling.

And it doesn't matter that CMC is special since he can't stay healthy enough to play. Chuba wins by default since he is healthy enough to play.

Like Robbie Anderson, for example.

Y’all want to trade the guy who had us talking playoffs and thinking we stole a franchise QB from the Jets. He went out and look where we are now. 
 

You don’t trade CMC unless he has mentally checked out. I don’t think that’s the case yet.

I really think Chuba is good enough to start in this league and do very well. The drop off from McCaffrey really isn't all that drastic. Most of the problem is that Chuba is open on the check down but Darnold would rather throw a pick down field. 

I think Chuba will be a good NFL starter. His blocking and hands still needs work though.  He definitely progressed yesterday after he went for the blitzing players knees though, he actually corrected and stood up a blitz later in the game.

I've always liked Chubba and believe he is a really great talent with great potential.

Also, his pass pro was absolutely special yesterday...  too bad, Darnold still sucked regardless.  Chubba was absolutely selling out on those blocks he threw.

Play action only works if you can effectively run the ball. You can’t run the ball if defenses are stacking the box because your quarterback sucks at reading the field and the defense knows this. Darnold is a zero threat in the passing game. Let alone a deep threat. Darnold puts zero stress on defenses. Makes everything insanely predictable. No OC is going to be successful with Darnold at qb.

Chubba has looked better and better each week. At this point we should all be hoping we hire Rhule's wife as a scout.
