Ray Reed Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 The thing that will be tough for him is his lack of #s in the pass game when seemingly all the top guys in his era tend to be do it all types I think he should though, he’s a monster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP3MVP Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Yards per carry is at all time highs the last few years. It’s never been this easy to run the ball. Are we gonna knock current running backs like people attempt to do with current QBs or nah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we gonna knock current running backs like people attempt to do with current QBs or nah Yeah but it's not drastic and has somewhat to do with running QBs. In the 70s the average passer rating was 60 something compared to 90 now. In the 70s teams ran for 140 yards per game, 120 now. 4 yards per carry then 4.5 now. The stats aren't inflated like passing stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malik Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Outside of Bettis and Martin, RBs don't usually get in because of cumulative stats. They have to be seen as THE best running back in football for at around 4 years to be considered. How much better is Nick Chubb than say Corey Dillion who has 0% chance of ever getting in the hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even Kansas City fans True. He also had a lot of injury problems, and fizzled out by age 29. We'll see what happens with Chubb. Playing for a Cleveland team that can't get it's head out of his *** isn't helping his case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yin-Yang Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 He very well may be. Unfortunately, that doesn’t often translate, especially at the running back position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkronsWitness Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) 20 hours ago, 3rivers said: quite the stats you provided. Chubb is a great RB and fun to watch despite being on a team other than the team I pull for. It also is worth noting that in some systems he might actually get more carries /yards if he wasn't sharing snaps as much. His average per carry stands out too because thats over a few years and up there with all time greats. I mean....and Im trying my best not to fudge numbers or exaggerate but........Nick Chubb is the best pure RB in football since Adrian Peterson, he has the best YPC of any RB in the past decade, since entering the NFL he is the best 4th QTR RB in the league, he is the best RB since Barry Sanders at making people miss tackles and he has the most explosive runs of any RB in the NFL since stepping into the league. Nick Chubb has Jamal Charles YPC ability, combined with Derek Henrys breaking takles ability, combined again with Adrian Petersons explosive play skills. With statistics and eye test I could easily make an argument that Nick Chubb is the best RB the NFL has seen since Barry Sanders and that includes Derrick Henry, Ladanian Tomlinson and Adrian Peterson. and Im not being facetious....at all Edited January 15 by AkronsWitness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part about Chubb is he will get the YPC while not being the top speed home run threat . He gets consistent yardage against anyone. If only he had better QB play and OC, but that could change next year and open up the run game and then Chubb could actually average close to 6ypc if the OL is healthy. If Watson gets back to form and the OC is good, I expect Chubb to put up stats, especially if Hunt signs elsewhere and Chubb gets more carries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubb is JC without the injuries and I think JC was undoubtedly a HoFer if he had a healthier career. I think Chubb is 3-4 big years away from HoF. Maybe 2 or 3 if CLE gets a ring and he's a part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSlim Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 This thread does make me wonder what current RBs are future HOFers. I think Chubb and Henry are right on pace. McCaffrey’s current stint with the 49ers will be big for him. He stays healthy these next few years, it’ll go a long way. Other than that, not too many guys I think have a legit chance. As for the question at hand, Chubb is definitely on pace. He’s been right there at the top of the best RB in the league spot the past few years. Another 2-3 years at or close to the pace he’s been at, should solidify his case. A nice playoff run mixed in would certainly boost his case also.

Bullet Club Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 He's absolutely a HoF talent but he's going to need two more great years and some stat accumulation beyond that to get in. Not having bulk stats or accolades makes it really hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duluther Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 He’s a HoF player. Put him in any other decade on a relevant team and he’s a lock. I don’t think he will get in because he’s had two playoff games and the HB split light is dim atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
