I personally think Chubba is better than people give him credit for here.  He needs to keep improving and fix, I mean forever, his ball security.  No fumbles

He's above average, with stones for hands.

Those two fumbled kickoffs last year in the same game.  Sheesh. 

His pass catching improved, but it was one of he worst in the nfl his rookie season.

Understand but he is improving.  We have to remember he went in the mid 4th round so he has given value IMO with that pick.

I agree that Chuba can run and has some playmaking ability. We jut need a decent rotation but he can definitely contribute.

I like this RB class a lot. It's deep with talent. Really no reason not to add to the mix.   I am flexible bout style of back though. I would like to see a power back but willing to just play the board and take best RB on the board.  Chuba has played well considering the situations we put him in. The stigma of being drafted by Rhule and more damning "rhules wifey" liked him. Having to replace CMC reps. All that and the way the Cowboys put lots of reps on him in college. He has done extremely well in spite of some less than ideal situations. That said I do think we could find a complement to Miles and Chuba in this draft and possible replacement for Chuba.

Draft young cheap replacements. Let old guys walk. If you have a good line, a qb, and a competent scheme, then the guy in the backfield isn’t that important. It’s a position where injuries are frequent and the lifespan is short. We should be drafting a young guy now.

I said this in another thread but I think Kendre Miller is one of the top 3 backs in the draft. Solid in every aspect of the game. And now It looks like we are at least somewhat interested:

      Best to see Icky in the position we drafted him in to see if he continues making progress. All signs point to Canales/Morgan staying on board and so decisions on whether to move him elsewhere on the line will probably be done during the offseason. Personally, I'm more concerned about a more long-term answer at safety and Moton's spot. Love the guy but he's a FA after 2026 and he'll be 32 by then. Kinda has that sign of having to let a player walk one year too early.

      All I am saying is IMO if we were going to rework or extend his deal I think it would have happened by now.   Just feels like they are going to bite the bullet and let it run its course

      I mean me speaking honestly per normal- RT is not even on my radar for needing fixing....it sorta should be, but I feel its around 20s in "hey this need attention". Motown could have another 5 years of solid play leftd in his body and mind. I know something needs to done with his contract, its had money pushed back into the late years like three times now. He got like a 38 million cap number cause rhule, frittterererer and this past season Dan deferred money.  I think he's been "healthy" for most of his career and seems to work hard at being able to play. He's a good player to have on the team. I got no idea how this plays out.   We need to have friendly bet about Christs next contract- I say he gets 8million per and 40% guaranteed. If he gets below that, you are the true kungfu master- deal?
