Chuba Hubbard is a NFL starter

The WR's are much less of a problem that our bottom of the NFL QB play(and bottom 5 OL play).

They are largely mirroring the poo around them. 

It's a sign of poor coaching. While everything isn't Brady's fault he should be coming up with ways to score more than 3 points.

The dysfunction is bad enough that I ultimately hold Rhule mostly responsible. He hired the dude, he had last word on Darnold and he had the last word on the OL. 

Tepper made him The Guy and as The Guy, he is getting The Blame.

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. 

Chuba is a back up plain and simple he has 101 touches for 419 yards we’re CMC has 64 touches and 368 yards. Then when CMC is in he faces a lot more 8 man in the box which opened up our offense for our WR . Chuba in the game Defense never are concerned with him and that’s why the passing game has went backward.Chuba is also not great at picking up the blocking on passing downs.He might be open on. check downs but he also has dropped passes and that’s why the QB doesn’t have confidence in him.

Chuba is what he is he has potential. Two of the best factors going for him are he can actually get onto the field and he isnt the highest paid at his position. Weird but not surprising  that some people hate on him so much but still make excuses for others.

And how many more 8 man boxes does he face?

Does anyone have real numbers on that?

Yep, and defenses game plan specifically for CMC.  No team builds a defensive game plan around facing Chuba Hubbard.  As I stated earlier, his style is suited to be a 3rd down back, however his hands utterly suck.

That's a myth.

Down and distance dictates a lot of that.  3rd and 10, passing situation, of course someone is going to watch him coming out of the backfield, same would be true with most RBs.  

1st and 10, a lot of teams are going to play 8 men in the box, not because of CMC, but because its a running down and down and distance.

I'm not saying he doesn't get more attention than Hubbard but it is severely overblown by this fanbase.

McCaffrey is the single most impactful non-qb offensive player in the NFL when healthy. Hubbard is a fantastic backup and a competent starter but to say the drop off is marginal is a horrendous take.

Darnold has been bad the last few weeks but I have to think he'd look semi-competent with McCaffrey out there. Even his presence helps make receivers more open and when they're not, he's pretty much a guaranteed 10 yards on a check down play. Him being out is definitely the most undertalked about part of the Panthers slide and really can't be overstated.

The myth is thinking Chuba is a quality starter. Every time they interview opposing D cordinator they all talk about game planning to stop CMC never game planning to stop Chuba. The 8 men in a box CMC sees a lot more than Chuba and the stats back it up as facts. CMC 61 touches 368 yards 1 TD vs the 27th , 13th and 26th Defense. Our offense in the games 381 yards ,383 yards and 407 yards for a avg of 390 yards offense a game.This counts the Houston game for both of them. Chuba 101 touches 419 yards 1 TD vs the 26th , 23rd,17th,16th and 20th Defense . Our offense in the games 407 yards,379 yards, 267 yards , 306 yards ,173 yards for a avg of 306 yards Offense a game . The numbers tell that now Chuba is getting more attention because he’s is the starter our Offense is going backwards. This is the facts not a myth. But if we’re in rebuild we should trade CMC while he still has value .

None of those stats tell you how many are in the box. 
Watch the tape.  For identical downs and distances are teams using different alignments for Hubbard as opposed to CMC taking in to account that teams tendencies for all RBs.

    • Also, the fact we are comparing this one to the 10 preseason tells me we are in for another horrible year. 
    • Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.
    • Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins
