Some of you, all you do is talk sh¡t about Chuba, but all he does is do his job. No, he can't run through walls, but he can run through even some small homes. I said it last year, and Boobie Sanders did nothing to change my mind, Hubbard is our most explosive back. If he gets into the second level, good things generally happen. He's an excellent complement to any RB room in the league. I would tell you to stop underrating him, but you probably won't. Meanwhile, Chuba will keep on chugging, then breaking off explosive runs to move the chains.

Hubbard is fine if there is a hole where it should be as he can hit the hole hard. If the hole isn’t there he flounders like the 4th and 1 where he turned his back and got nothing. He’s complementary/a backup and that’s it. If he’s your starter against a good D, you’re in trouble as we saw last year.

Think you said it best - he’s a good complementary back. He’s good at finding holes to sprint through. Our problem is we need a lead back with a good blend of power and speed and Sanders ain’t it.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
