Am I crazy or has Lovett out played Chuba?

I was excited for him when he was drafted but in this version of the NFL if you've got hands of stone as an RB you better be built like a bruiser and be able to move the chains. That's the mold of back we should have targeted to spell McCaffrey like we had with Mike Davis.

Yes to both questions

I despise Chub.  I have stated here before, last year, he led the league in rushing attempts that netted zero yards or negative yards. 25%  Albeit behind a terrible OL, at least get a foot or two.  It is that dancing stuff.  Sure, that may have worked in the Big 12 or whatever, but not in the NFL.  If we cut him, he would not be picked up.  And he is one of those "cutsie" draft picks that Rhule bragged about--"My wife liked him so we took him.  Couldn't believe he was still there!"  Whatever.

    • It's rare enough for a running back to tear the same ACL twice. There's not much of a sample size on the recoveries. And of course Dobbins has missed a lot of time--he was injured twice. That number will drop as his career continues, and even if it doesn't, that doesn't necessarily mean it has anything to do with the prior injuries. Dobbins just started and played well for a playoff team all year until he was injured by a hip-drop tackle. Surely his ACL recoveries didn't contribute to his completely random foot injury caused by an illegal tackle? Again, I'm confused why everyone is being so definitive that there's 'very little chance' of any meaningful contribution ever when the greatest counterpoint ever played for us. Thomas Davis tore the same knee over and over again and was basically fine. As for the roster-building stuff, we'll see what happens with Chuba and Dowdle at the end of the year, but Etienne's not going to factor into this. Either Brooks comes back, in which case we've already seen more from him than we have from Etienne, or he doesn't. But Etienne's not forcing him off the team. If anything, Etienne's current role is his absolute floor.
    • Then I would assume disingenuous. Why on earth would you consider this an "exciting" time to be a Panthers fan? Let me ask this, how old are you and how long have you been an NFL fan?
    • An ESPN writer had a good breakdown of teams that were likely to come back to earth(KC and Redskins were two of them) based on outlier results in 2024 in close games. I think that has a lot to do with it. Found it: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts
