Chuba is a good guy and well-liked in the locker room, I think that plays a big role in it.  It’s hard to take that guy’s job and give it to someone else, no matter the margin.  That being said, I’ve always felt Chuba has had his limitations, but he was a lone bright spot on the offense for a lot of years recently, so we rewarded him for it - both with playing time and a contract.  And I appreciate Chuba, but in now seeing him and Rico side by side, Chuba needs to only come in to provide Rico a breather.  Sure, Chuba may be having trouble getting back in the groove coming back from his injury, but he’s never really been a runner with a lot of suddenness.  But I feel like bigger than strengths or weaknesses, this feels like a case of “if you have 2 RBs, you have no RBs.”  Which is weird, bc historically it can work, but these guys don’t seem to complement each other very well.

Sometimes a guy is just feeling it, which Rico definitely has the past 2 weeks. It's not personal. It's about winning. Do what's best for the team to win. If that means Rico averaging near 5 yards a carry gets the bulk over Chuba's 2 YPC, so be it, because the long game is playoff hunt. Do what's necessary to win and make it easier on yourself doing it.

I think we are figuring out the new RB mix might take a few weeks. What Rico did past 2 weeks isn’t sustainable his body would break down getting 32 touches a game so I like using both a lot. That being said Rico seems clearly better and should be getting prob 65% of snaps. Chuba is a better pass protector tho

Canales kept calling play action and bootlegs when the jets had the sniffed out every single time. He’s one stubborn sob

Canlaes has a starting QB that is mediocre to average at best so he is limited and what he can call

Young is somewhat effective passing the ball when a strong running game is able to keep the defense honest. When he rolls out he's able to see the field a better and at times he's able to have some success in the passing game.

Young really isn't that good in any other situations. He can't play under center and turn his back to the defense like the other 98% of the QB's in the NFL. He too small to see over the lineman. And unlike small QBs like Doug Flutie and Kyler Murray he doesn't have cannon to launch the ball downfield.  

As one poster noted in another thread, when a QB can't threaten the defense at all 3 levels of defense you are limited to what you can call. 

I'd love to see what type of offense we'd have under Canales if he had Mayfield, Darnold, or Drake May under center.

Canales once again proves he isn’t capable of properly evaluating the actual talent he does have on this team 

Mays/Corbett

cutting Coker 

Legette and all the BS plays he draws up for him 

Coker was cut?

They feel hubard is better receiving out of the backfield which he probably is, and that's really important when half of your QBs throws don't pass the LOS.

This a false, Bryce is actually good when we go 11 personal from gun but that’s not Canales MO. And he can play under center considering that what he’s been running this season.

And Canales had Baker with Evans and Godwin and they finished 20th in scoring and got better once he left

Last year he didn’t make the 53 coming out of camp. They waived him and could’ve lost him but got lucky and were able to put him on the PS 

I believe Chuba is better in pass pro but anything catching related not a chance. No chance Chuba catches that ball Dowdle turned into a TD last week

      Bucky Brooks eats humble pie. You want a couple of slices?

      No you dont.  He had all those records for years before his final season. Whether career or season he had them all years before his final season in which he played 6 games.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By csx · Posted

      Williams covered for Moore by saying they were on the wrong page about Moores specific route. Williams could have easily covered for him by saying he messed up. Suggesting only 1 route was ever intended to be a viable target is absurd.

      Edge Rushers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I am going to agree with Linville this time--I think we need to get a veteran edge (We have Jones II, Scourton, and Princely--2 developmental guys and a decent veteran).  We don't really think of Jones because he had a hamstring injury weeks 3 and 4 and a back that required surgery Week 6-17.  He still managed 10 pressures, and he will be 28.  Princely Umanmielen only played in approximately 18-20% of the snaps and he struggled at times.  Basically, he was a situational pass rusher.  He got 1.5 sacks and 10 pressures.  He should improve, but for now, he is what he is.  Scourton gives us hope.  For a rookie (and thanks to Jones II's injuries, he was given more PT), he had 8 sacks--and held the edge.  He played at a first-round draft pick level.  He has the potential to become "that guy" in 2026. We lose Wonnum, who played nearly 700 snaps and amassed 3 whole sacks.  For a person raised a Gamecock, I would not be upset if we purged our roster of all South Carolina alumni.   However, I see it this way:  Wonnum was decent holding the edge, something Patrick Jones II and Scourton have demonstrated at a high level.  He is a liability, if you ask me.    Jones had 7 sacks one season in Minnesota and is known for his inside rushing ability--not what you would call a speed rusher.  I think Princely was a bit disappointing, but he was a bit raw.  Out of college, they described him as being a bit predictable.  I see no reason he will not improve in 2026 and become a situational pass rusher.   Basically, with Scourton and Princely expected to continue to develop and Jones II returning from injury, I think we need another veteran (if we can get a good one) to give us balance and depth.  A third developmental player is not ideal.   Draft:  OT, LB, WR, OL depth, S. Free Agency:  Edge, possibly a WR;  re-sign Mays, Cuhran, BC (??), and Nijman.  Let walk:  Wonnum, Scott, Dowdle.  I see about $20m per year after signing the OL depth.  Spend it on a veteran edge.   Players like Reddick (Tampa), Bosa (Buffalo), Khalil Mack (LAC) could be available on a one or two year deal in the $15m range.  We could splurge here, but I think a veteran situational pass rusher (depending on Jones II's back) is all we need while our 2 young guns develop.
