Meh. This is a pretty unique example. Doesn't even hit the radar for a FA. FAs care about 1) money 2) winning ..... 6) front office antics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You actually think he's going to have value now that he's sharing carries with someone better than himself? Denial He did? What week was that exactly? Was it Week 12 when Duke had 2 carries and 2 catches? It can't be that week. Chubb had 84 yards rushing and 44 receiving with 2 tds. Perhaps it was Week 13? Hmm, Duke had 2 catches for 12 yards. Chubb had another rushing td and 41 yards receiving. Probably Week 14? Nope, Duke literally had no catches and negative yards rushing. So, I guess you're referring to Weeks 15 and 16 as when he "destroyed" Chubbs value? A combined 40 yards rushing and 79 yards receiving? Meanwhile Chubb is over 100 yards in both games? Help me understand. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Duke got similar playing time and usage all season per game. I'm not saying Hunt won't really hurt Chubb's value(it has to). But I would say the same about for any top 10 RB who's team added Hunt(who I also think is a top 10 RB talent wise). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Help me understand. 1 TD and no more receiving work weeks 14,15,16 (when it mattered) routinely taken off the field inside the 20 if you were only hoping for 10 points from Chubb then i guess he gave you everything you needed you'll be hoping for a hunt injury all season Edited February 12, 2019 by FritzLn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BMcP 8,123 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 From Week 8 onward, Chubb received exactly the same number of targets (3) each week with three exceptions: only one in Weeks 9 and 15, and six - in Week 14 (the first week you mentioned). Duke’s 5.4 touches/game wasn’t doing anything to Chubb’s value. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FISH20 57 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Duke really didn't do much to Chubb's value at all last year. Hunt is much better runner then Duke though and isn't going to be used like Duke/Sproles/Cohen etc. I think it could get really ugly for Chubb if him and Hunt are active together. Chubb was already average in the receiving department last year, now he may be splitting carries with a RB that is arguably better then him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll take Hunt and his added receiving ability over Chubb. You can talk about KC's offense all you want but Hunt is a talented RB. Next Gen Stats had Hunt as their most elusive RB in 2017. #1 rated RB in "yard gained after close" defender (within 1 yard). He was also #1 in missed tackles according to PFF.

Kitchens kept Haleys offense intact when he took over as OC No one knows what a kitchens offense looks like, he was never a HC or a full time OC. if u are going to change the offense you do it now before Baker becomes to indoctrinated in the Haley scheme So no one knows what Duke or chubb or Hunt will do in this offense. I will rpt: NO ONE KNOWS WHAT A KITCHENS OFFENSE LOOKS LIKE 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely right. And as of early December, he was literally rated as the best RB in the league - can’t imagine he dropped off too much in the final few weeks: https://www.google.com/amp/s/247sports.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/Article/Nick-Chubb-Browns-NFL-best-running-back-125744341/Amp/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wait...did Hunt get let go before Chubb’s emergence this season? ...have they ever been seen in the same room together?? Hmmm...it’s all making sense, this bizarre signing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

not an nfl scout 208 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 they may have several other incidents including the one that was on tape? i thought i read that on a roto post? that could be 6 games each if any merit is found with each allegation? i could be wrong but 2019 is not looking that promising for hunt. it seems that cleveland knows this as well.

Everyone ranking the Browns production based off of last season are going to be surprised when it's better, worse or the same Seriously I wouldnt touch any Browns player in the first 3 rds too many question marks, starting with kitchens 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
