The Chubb-Hub Yardage Delivery Service

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I'd love to give one more contract to Chubb. Obviously he won't take priority over critical positions. However, everything we've seen thus far indicates he may be a LEGENDARY/GOAT talent at RB. This may be an unpopular opinion since the majority seem to think you can just plug any RB into any system and get the same results, but if you asked me if I'd rather have Chubb or Austin Hooper @ 11 million, I'm picking Chubb.
 

I read how great Chubb is...then I hear all the talk about how the RB position really doesn't matter than much, that any decent back can be successful with the right scheme and decent blocking, so it doesn't make sense to spend a lot on it. Thing is, I agree in principle with the latter point. But sometimes, you have to say "screw principle". Chubb is a monster, and his yards after contact make the running game a threat even if the blocking isn't all that great.

He's a difference maker, and his performance isn't just what you'd get with any decent running back in that system. He's special.

Not to mention how much he's loved and respected in that locker room. He's as much of a culture setter as there is, especially at that position, in the NFL. Pay him his money and let him be great for this team.

In terms of a runningback’s value in the running game, Chubb is the best in the NFL right now, and maybe the best since prime Jamal Lewis. His ability to gain yards after contact is so great that he ostensibly can gain those yards with a replacement-level offensive line. Teams either have to let Chubb abuse them or sell-out to stop the run, opening up the passing game.

The question is twofold. First, how much of a beating can Chubb take? The problem for a lot of these guys is they get hurt and are never the same.

And second, how valuable is Chubb compared to the alternative option? I think we’ll know more about that question as we see Stefanski call plays.

Either way, if I am the Browns then I am franchise tagging him for two years no matter what.
