not a big drop off? do you know how to watch football? or you just watching both get hit instantly because of our poo oline and come up with a casual fan conclusion? Hubbard isn’t breaking ankles every game and he isn’t close to matching gains after contact, d coordinators aren’t stacking up against him or opening up a wr just to account for him WHILE he continues to gain even when they know it’s coming, not to mention he can’t catch worth a poo and if you haven’t noticed, there’s a poo ton of plays/routes that have been yanked out of the playbook because of him and cmc being out

CMC has entire defenses watching him and still makes them pay but they don’t even know Hubbard is on the field and there’s not that big of drop off lol

this reminds me of similar threads with Davis last year and when other teams realized he was only 90% scrub and they paid just a smidgen of attention, Davis got shut down

argue the contract all you want but this take is beyond laughable

Anyone watching this game tonight can see the value of Cmac in Kamara.

 

Kamara has been so dominant they are putting two guys on him. That's going to open things for other guys.

Would Payton trade Kamara? No.

Hubbard has multiple problems that will keep him a backup wherever he plays. Can't catch. Can't break tackles, especially that 1st one that aims for his ankles. For a RB he has trouble keeping his balance. He reminds me of Bonnafon and we know how his career has gone.

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.

It doesn't make him a better player in terms of talent. That's my angle. I mean sure, so far Chuba has been much more available. He still isn't more talented.

Chuba would be starting on a number of teams in this league because he can play the position and he can get yardage. He does need to develop some parts of his game, and while he is learning on the fly, we've got to remember that he's still a rookie. He's got a lot to learn, he's got to get more familiar and comfortable in the passing game and he needs more time in strength and conditioning.

If you base his evaluation against the starting RBs across the league, he's going to fall into place somewhere around 26th-27th in capability. He beats out some team's resources because they just don't have a decent running back on their roster. And Hubbard is decent right now. He isn't, however, ready to be a RB1 that anyone outside of his home team knows his name. His game just isn't complete right now and he isn't delivering the big hits and big runs. Not saying he won't, he just isn't there yet.

So, in my opinion, Hubbard is in just the right spot for him. He's a RB2 behind an excellent (great) RB1 and he's seeing starting RB work because of an injury to the guy in front of him. He's getting on the job training and he's pulling his load when asked most of the time. Another year or two and he's going to be noticed.

The talk about stacked boxes and scheming are irrelevant.

Chuba averages nearly four yards per carry behind a historically terrible offensive line.  That's a starter quality average in the NFL.  It's as simple as that.  It doesn't matter how the defense aligns or schemes, if your RB is getting four yards a pop, you feed him.  All day.

Imagine what he would look like behind a line like Tennessee.  Or the old Denver zone scheme.

He’s at 3.7 and he’s getting worst as the defense starts paying attention to him and so has our offense went backwards with him .He is terrible in the passing game .So if you like avg or below avg you must be ok with us going 500 or worst every year

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.

      That doesn't void his contract
