You are woefully underrating his skill set. If anything, his skill set was muted by the receivers today, and murdered by the coaching staff. This game was in many ways a testament as to why you need to give rookies at skill positions more work during the preseason. Chemistry isn't just something to say, it's a real thing.

I'm talking about perhaps the only mostly positive player of the game other than maybe Hayden Hurst (or the kickers). The O-line wasn't awful at pass pro. The D-line made some plays. The defense, as a whole, was inconsistent. So, yeah I'm talking about Chuba.

He was disappointing today.

I guess you missed him squirting through the small hole for the first down. No back can run through a hole that ain't there.

Some of you, all you do is talk sh¡t about Chuba, but all he does is do his job. No, he can't run through walls, but he can run through even some small homes. I said it last year, and Boobie Sanders did nothing to change my mind, Hubbard is our most explosive back. If he gets into the second level, good things generally happen. He's an excellent complement to any RB room in the league. I would tell you to stop underrating him, but you probably won't. Meanwhile, Chuba will keep on chugging, then breaking off explosive runs to move the chains.

Yeah, he's likely gonna kill my day in FF.

This is a good take.

Some of you just know a lot less about the ways of football than I thought.

Not really. Our defense showed up, as well as our O-line, at least much better than in preseason. We didn't have a bunch of turnovers in the preseason. Some of us told this place that everything is new. Our QB is a rookie for crying out loud. If people had their expectations out of line, that's on them.

I seriously thought that you were better than this.

They aren't on the same page. They need more time together. Marshall has been hurt.

Some of us have essentially been telling y'all that all along

Our defense has caused a lot of that unhappiness

See above. The results are the same. It was an opportunity cost that we are losing so far.

Glad we don't have Ridder.

I respect that, and from some perspective I agree, but the result is basically the same: too much draft capital spent for a player not getting it done.

Jaycee Horn is made of glass. He sounded like a good idea at the time. His body has basically betrayed him his entire career. It may be time to think about his long term viability.

Yep. Not impressed with his clock management at all.

That was bound to happen. Anyone should've taken that bet.

It was a bad play call.

It wasn't Chubacs fault. The Falcons line got hella push before he even got to it. That's why he had to hesitate to look for a hole.

Kinda comparing apples to oranges, but the ONLY thing that I've known after a first Panthers game is that Cam was going to be a bigger gamer than any of us could imagine.

I wish I wouldn't have played him, now I can't really release him until Tuesday.
