They were chanting his name down the ramp. He’s a fan favorite for sure.

I saw in the game thread, where fans are calling Chubba nothing special.  Not a feature back. Yet all he does is run through defenses. 

Time to stop talking down about him.  I knownwhy Stewart loves him. Same reason I do. 

I understand it, they’re wrong, but I get why some people don’t see him as a star. 
He’s not a “big play” guy.  He doesn’t have break away speed.  He’s not shifty or elusive and he’s not a bruising power back. 
Hes just good.  Hard nosed, consistent, lunch pail, grind it out back.

That won’t appeal to some fans but I fuggin love that poo.

I remember when Chuba was a JAG with bricks for hands. The dude has put in the work and developed into a top back in the NFL.

Chuba did have oven mitts, but he was never JAG. I've said it for years. He was solid when we didn't have a line. I said, it would be nice to see what he can do behind a real line? Now we know. 

" JAG"and "Chuba" don't belong in the same sentence. You hear me?

Was I hearing things today or did I catch the crowd saying “Chuuuuuu” after he would make a play?

If that’s becoming a thing, I would like that very much.

There were chants of Chuuuuubaaaa ringing through the stands today. It was glorious.

Chuba is not a game changer or breaker but he has become a complete back. He runs downhill and hard. 

He can now catch the ball.

He can block.

And he has a constant running motor even after getting paid. 

I was one of those that thought his first few years he was a jag. But he has grown and impressed me and I'm happy the panthers signed him to an extension.

He doesn't have the size of a big bruiser, although his running style is very blunt. He has great balance and vision.   Which is the most important things in my eyes to ANY running back.  He's not fast, yet he consistently breaks 10 plus yard runs. 20 plus yard runs.  

The dude is a load. Add to the fact he can catch out of the backfired.

This is a back you absolutely build an offense around.

He still needs help. 

Can never ever have enough good running backs.

What I really like about Hubbard is if the hole isn't there he puts his head down and makes one. Several times yesterday it looked like he was going to get dropped for a minimal gain and he grounded out extra yards. That type of play opens the entire playbook.
