I don't really think Hubbard is a bad runner. Heck, we've seen plenty of cases where he takes a handoff and runs like a freight train.

Just don't ask him to catch a pass. And please, in the name of all that's holy don't put him out there to catch a punt 😖

He’s just OK. He’s got speed and we opened up holes. The funny thing is that stat to me says more about the OL blocking than his ability. Least amount of time behind the line and most N/S yardage just means he runs straight through and open hole. That’s what we saw. He’s not someone who can create something or make people miss. We saw that last year when we played good teams and bad teams. When the Lions kept only 7 guys in the box all day, we had huge holes but when the OL faced a good D, we got shut down. There was not much in the middle because our RB’s couldn’t create if the hole wasn’t there immediately. That’s the difference with someone like CMC who we saw make something out of nothing with the mainly pop line we had after 2017.

Speaking of punts, it’s almost funny how people in here wanted him released early last year for the drops and now many of the same people think he’s a good RB. Heck, above people are saying he improved receiving but he had 14 catches, less than 1 per game, which is a tiny sample size. He’s a backup and that’s it. Any RB could have had a solid year with us with the way our OL blocked most weeks.

He has always been a backup caliber player. His biggest problem is that he isn't good at much other than running the ball and he's really average at that. It's hard to be a one trick pony RB in the modern NFL.

Meh.  He's a mid sized to small back with stone for hands and an average to to slightly above average runner.  His drop% was at the very bottom of the league his rookie season.  Last year it improved but he fumbled two kickoffs in one game which resulted in a L. 

Mrs. Rhule was wrong.

I’m not the hugest fan. Not saying he shouldn’t be on the team but I think he’s much better served as a third back. Hands are terrible, blocking is about average, power is below average, speed is (overrated) fine. In a world of todays RB, we can do a lot better. See what Kareem Hunt is up to. Or Fat Lenny.

      https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2024/06/bruins-hurricanes-could-swap-linus-ullmark-and-martin-necas.html The Boston Bruins are continuing to garner more and more interest for their former Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender Linus Ullmark, giving them a chance to be picky about the return. That could exclude much of the league from acquiring the star netminder, with Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman sharing on The Jeff Marek Show that he doesn’t believe teams like the Vancouver Canucks or Montreal Canadiens have the assets to acquire Ullmark. Friedman added that the Carolina Hurricanes could be one of the few teams rich enough for the deal, especially if they involve forward Martin Necas. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/carolina-hurricanes Expect the Maple Leafs and Predators to be two of the top suitors for Hurricanes defenseman Brett Pesce if he hits the open market next month, The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta reports.

      Another Bryce breakdown

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      They do, just when. I hate to be pessimistic but it’s all about the QB. I can’t recall a QB situation where a bad QB (not bad stats, but looking like they don’t belong) turned a team around. Peyton Manning had a ridiculous amount of interceptions but he didn’t show his future limitations. Usually, it was picking another QB in the draft. Unfortunately, IMHO, we won’t be really better until we get our Cam v2, someone who can carry the team and not win only if we have a stud lineup around him. That’s why I’m more interested in how the rest of the draft picks do to see if we can actually solve holes like the ones we created losing Olsen, CMC, Moore, Turner/Kalil/Norwell, etc. I want to actually be one QB away not Fitterer’s definition of one player away.

      How to list & hopefully sell PSLs plus season tickets

      I will say once you have been in newer arenas and stadiums with their way better bathroom set-ups, it is such a massive improvement. It clears up a lot of insane lines just waiting around to piss.  I have taken to not drinking at all at older stadiums just so I don't have to deal with planning when to take a piss and what part of the game I am gonna be forced to miss because of it. It's so nice to be in a new arena/stadium with way better bathroom accessibility that doesn't force you to literally miss the game. Not to mention I will actually spend money on booze there then.
