Chuba is a better back than Rico.

I have no idea what the future holds for our RB room. But Chuba is a great guy and a talented back. He had a gritty game today. He has heart. Some other highly paid players could and would have gone into a shell after what he's been through but he was highly motivated and put in some serious work and was a tremendoush help to his team. That's a leader. Kudos to him.

We should not discard Dowdle though. We will need all hands on deck if we want to make a run at the division. Let them both touch the rock and whichever one is the hot hand on gameday you ride that wave.

Chubby had said that he probably came backk too soon from his injured calf.  Today he seemed to be running like Rico was a couple of weeks ago.  He's running hard and not a lot of pitter patter.  It's a good argument to have.  I like both and I hope they both stay around for a while.  However, I believe Rico is gone after this year.

Rico looks hobbled, Chuba looks healthy. They're both good and we're lucky to have em.

Today is the first time since Chuba came back from injury where he had that quick burst upfield.  Enjoyed watching him today.

Chuba is finally healthy and we been running Rico in to dust, this is really the best case. 

I've said for weeks that I didn't believe Hubbard was fully healthy. Now it's Dowdle. 

They'd be a great double trouble type stable but I fear Dowdle might wanna go somewhere where he's the feature back.

Where is Dowdle realistically going to where he'd be the feature back?

Dowdle feels like that one cut style. Chuba seems to be better in traffic against a tougher defense. He seems to have his agility back. 

Dowdle reminds me of of Le'veon Bell generally one cut but damn he makes the most of that cut.... he also has excellent vision patience timing his blocks.... and has excellent speed to break away. 

Chuba generally is more of a slasher who vs better defenses and stacked boxes will just hammer ahead for 3 to 4.  Chuba doesnt have the same speed. Idk

      Bryce Slinging Dots Downfield

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I get it, but it's just like "dropping dimes" doesn't have a definition either but is saying the same thing. They're like what the Supreme Court said about Porn, "you know it when you see it" And I think you have to be watching with some crazy ridiculous Bryce goggles to think he was "slinging dots downfield" as the OP said.  I'm not taking anything away from Bryce for making the necessary throw in those situations and got two TDs on two 4th down plays.   But they weren't "sligning dots downfield" and they weren't "dropping dimes", they were pretty basic throws for any NFL QB, not even starting QB, just any QB.  They were 15-20 yard touch throws for the WR to run under it, with no safety over the top of them or need to let them get down in bounds.  They were in essence practice throws with no DB covering them, just in a high pressure game situation. 100% perfect throws for what was needed, which in itself is a credit to Bryce as he's struggled with that on easy throws in the past.  And hell, this literally might have been his best game of his career all things considered. But "slinging dots downfield" is just an absurd statement to say after today, sorry.

      Bryce Slinging Dots Downfield

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Idk, but I was just scrolling shorts and this video popped up calling the Tmac pass an “absolute dot” so, unless this is you, it seems like it might meet more people’s definition of “dot” than he thinks. Anybody crashing out over calling these passes “dots” really can’t be taken seriously on any Bryce Young related topic because he clearly affects their ability to think straight.
