Because without Kamara the Saints had no chance.

Exactly ,It’s not CMC fault we have bad QB play or worst O line play then QB

Our backup might be better than Seattle with Geno

Geno Smith is as bad as PJ

not a big drop off? do you know how to watch football? or you just watching both get hit instantly because of our poo oline and come up with a casual fan conclusion? Hubbard isn’t breaking ankles every game and he isn’t close to matching gains after contact, d coordinators aren’t stacking up against him or opening up a wr just to account for him WHILE he continues to gain even when they know it’s coming, not to mention he can’t catch worth a poo and if you haven’t noticed, there’s a poo ton of plays/routes that have been yanked out of the playbook because of him and cmc being out

CMC has entire defenses watching him and still makes them pay but they don’t even know Hubbard is on the field and there’s not that big of drop off lol

this reminds me of similar threads with Davis last year and when other teams realized he was only 90% scrub and they paid just a smidgen of attention, Davis got shut down

argue the contract all you want but this take is beyond laughable

Anyone watching this game tonight can see the value of Cmac in Kamara.

 

Kamara has been so dominant they are putting two guys on him. That's going to open things for other guys.

Would Payton trade Kamara? No.

Hubbard has multiple problems that will keep him a backup wherever he plays. Can't catch. Can't break tackles, especially that 1st one that aims for his ankles. For a RB he has trouble keeping his balance. He reminds me of Bonnafon and we know how his career has gone.

And it doesn't matter that CMC is special since he can't stay healthy enough to play. Chuba wins by default since he is healthy enough to play.

It doesn't make him a better player in terms of talent. That's my angle. I mean sure, so far Chuba has been much more available. He still isn't more talented.

Chuba would be starting on a number of teams in this league because he can play the position and he can get yardage. He does need to develop some parts of his game, and while he is learning on the fly, we've got to remember that he's still a rookie. He's got a lot to learn, he's got to get more familiar and comfortable in the passing game and he needs more time in strength and conditioning.

If you base his evaluation against the starting RBs across the league, he's going to fall into place somewhere around 26th-27th in capability. He beats out some team's resources because they just don't have a decent running back on their roster. And Hubbard is decent right now. He isn't, however, ready to be a RB1 that anyone outside of his home team knows his name. His game just isn't complete right now and he isn't delivering the big hits and big runs. Not saying he won't, he just isn't there yet.

So, in my opinion, Hubbard is in just the right spot for him. He's a RB2 behind an excellent (great) RB1 and he's seeing starting RB work because of an injury to the guy in front of him. He's getting on the job training and he's pulling his load when asked most of the time. Another year or two and he's going to be noticed.

The talk about stacked boxes and scheming are irrelevant.

Chuba averages nearly four yards per carry behind a historically terrible offensive line.  That's a starter quality average in the NFL.  It's as simple as that.  It doesn't matter how the defense aligns or schemes, if your RB is getting four yards a pop, you feed him.  All day.

Imagine what he would look like behind a line like Tennessee.  Or the old Denver zone scheme.

He’s at 3.7 and he’s getting worst as the defense starts paying attention to him and so has our offense went backwards with him .He is terrible in the passing game .So if you like avg or below avg you must be ok with us going 500 or worst every year

Could the reason CMC hasn't been playing is because he knows that he's gone? That injury did not look bad at all, he was barely even limping.

Can't make an impact from the sideline. We love him but at some point you can't keep trying to deny reality.
