Maybe its a revisionist history thing, but comparing it to Adrian Petersons beginning is comparing it to the start of what we now know as a Hall of Fame career, so its hard for me to view that way. That being said I LOVED Chubb before he got hurt. After he never really seemed to regain what he had before. That's why he wasn't top 10 because he never again looked in college like he did his freshman and sophomore years. It is certainly looking up for him and I'm hoping he can maintain this!

Kiwibrown Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Nick chubb is something special. His balance is unreal, the first time I was impressed with was pre season when he had two guys on him and a lb came to smash him, he hit chubb and bounced off. He is the best browns rb since the return, best combo of balance, speed power, strength. On the 92 yarder he got hit in the ankles by a rb, that takes a few players down.

So... Baker is doing equal with more? Besides getting turnovers (and the entire last game) our supporting cast hasn't really been any better. Hopefully going forward that proves to be true but between the refs (I'm counting em), the kickers and having 3 of the top 10 in drops https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/stats?season=2018&week=100&category=RECEIVING&opp=0&sort=11&qualified=0&sortOrder=0&page=1 Baker hasn't had an easy road either. Neither seem to have had much coaching help. I projected Baker with a higher ceiling and both having close to the same floor so I would have been cool with either of them, better than having Kizer. Now, just watching Baker throw in the NFL I wouldn't trade Baker for Darnold and two firsts. The position is too important and I think there will be a gap between the two when all is said and done, doesn't mean Darnold won't be a top 10 QB but I think Mayfield will be competing for the elite status at some point. When I said “support system” I was referring to front office not supporting cast. I’m very high on them to provide Baker with what he needs more so than what the jets will provide Darnold. Dorsey cares about good ole buddy boy and will make sure he succeeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying I'm going game by game and enjoying hoping this continues. So far hes started 4 games. As much as I hope that continues, I don't wanna get ahead of myself.... Again, that being said I love what I see. His ability to break tackles and stay on his feet is astounding. I am loving watching this kid run...

buno67 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 About Chubb. Feel like after his injury he was never 100% mentally recover from it. Still a tad bit hesitant his final years at UoG. Feel like his early success, that he knows he can take hits, break tackles, and break off and run away from defenders, that he is not longer held back from that injury. He knows he is healthy and he knows he belong. I think he should get better and better as time goes on. I don’t think we have seen the best version yet!!! A version Scouts didn’t think he would get back too. I thought he be good but I didn’t think his balance would be this good or his break away speed. I thought he would struggle to run away from defenders but he has that game breaking speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First RB with 3 50 yard TDs in a season since... Adrian Peterson. If it's getting ahead, it's only by an inch or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mind Character Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 The next step is for Chubb to be utilized in the passing game... Saquon and Chubb comparisons along the "we were right" type stuff are ridiculous... Everyone likes to say we made the right choice when comparing Saquon and Chubb's rushing stats (there was no choice as Saquon didn't even fall to 4 and we were always taking a QB1), but for confirmation bias reasons such people discount Saquon's 62 receptions for over 530 yards... Both are really good players and have well this year... I hope Chubb gets more passing game opportunities... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateDawg Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Poor Saquon. We will be laughing while the Giants have Eli Manning playing into his 50s and they’ll be begging Davis Webb to come back and be their savior.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets not kid ourselves into thinking his 62 receptions have nothing to do with Eli Manning's inability/lack of want to test downfield. I have seen 3 Giants games this season and Eli looks like Cody Kessler these days. Saquon for the most part hasn't been anything special with those receptions either.
