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.

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

    • Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season 
    • I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.   
    • IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
