Chuba love

[Panther53521]

Thank you Chuba for being a great team player. He could have said I am the starter and really messed this team up. Chuba is a great teammate and understanding what is best for the team.

Chuba will have his time, we will have a point that we need Chuba

[Aussie Tank]

We need him to garner us a draft pick and get that contract off the books. Won't happen though 

[PadresPanthersFan]

Hes always been a great teammate and consummate professional 

[Donald LaFell]

Honestly happy to let Rico get the carries this year and maybe Chuba is a decent role player the next few years. Always need fresh legs in the RB room. 
 

Chuba doesn’t seem to have any of the springiness he had in the past. I was always impressed with his patience but it  feels like he has Miles Sanders disease right now. I think the calf is still bothering him. 

[LinvilleGorge]

I don't think it would've really messed the team up. I mean, obvious truth is obvious. Chuba has a massive contract for a backup RB and his agent is probably telling him to shut up and be a good team player and cash those checks. Being a jackass is going to do nothing to help his situation. With his rate of usage Rico is probably gonna miss some games. Chuba will likely get another chance this year to be the feature RB.

Pie for a classy post. Well done classy you. I also almost agree. He may have more use value than exchange value, even with his higher contract. Maybe its worth a trade… but I suspect we will be glad he’s on the team by seasons end.

Yeah his initial burst isn't there. Not sure what's going on.

Dudes getting paid to sit on the bench most of the game now. I think he's perfectly happy with that

[Greatman77]

I wonder if Chuba has a lingering, undisclosed injury. He doesn't look the same as last year.

No reason to trade Chuba. They’ll have a very tough decision to make in the offseason though. They should try to get Chuba more carries against the Saints next week.

If we don't trade him we may end up releasing him. We can save a lot by cutting him.

Nothing but respect for the guy

According to this site the way his contract is, 2026 is made to where we have an out with releasing him. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/72510/chuba-hubbard
