Icecube Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 I didn't know much about him until Cleveland drafted him. What a steal. Best Browns' RB since Byner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canton Mike Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 I followed him in college & WAY preferred Chubb over Sony Michel. Brown's RBs? Chubb needs to play awhile longer, but (IMHO) he's a step above Byner & has the potential to move closer to the Leroy Kelly & Jim Brown level. He's a special RB.

Mike And as of right now, Chubb is proving to be the way better back than Michel. I'm not sure Sony's knee is all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballpeen Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 I live in a tri- state area. The Georgia state line is 11 miles from the house. As the bird flies, Alabama is maybe 20 miles over Lookout Mountain. As such, you see a lot of different hats when in a sports bar, thus, I was very aware of Nick. You see a lot of different games, but you are always going to see the Vols, Bulldogs, and the Tide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know...if you watched college football you knew that he sort of split time with Sony Michel at GA. And what? You don't see much about the Commodores there?

I'm not sure what Bill saw in Sony Michel.. Nice back.. But Chubb is the best back in the biz right now.. Zeke Elliott is pretty good but can't stay on the field or he's too doped up like Ricky Williams.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He appeared to lose his burst in 2019. And it meant everything. Plays where Zeke used to take it to the house turned into plays that went 3 yards. Chubb is at the top, but I think Dobbins will be right there with him in 2020, if he gets enough touches. Look out for Dillon in GB as well.

I never actually saw it before researching it now. It’s not for the feint of heart to see, while coming after the play AND out of bounds. Probably the main reason he wasn’t a 1st rounder. What a selection by Dorsey, anyhow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgia's Nick Chubb came into the NFL one inch taller, and 3 pounds heavier than former Clemson RB Kevin Mack in his rookie year (got to be those pillow shoulder pads) Toledo's Kareem Hunt also came into the NFL one inch taller, but 14 pounds lighter than East Carolina's RB Ernest Byner Per HOF... Only 6 RB duo's have both rushed for over 1000 yards in same season, while playing on the same team.. Mack & Byner were 3rd to ever.. 35 years later 😤...Could N. Chubb & K.Hunt be the 7th ever?

Only 1 back went in the 1st round this year, with the last pick in the 1st. And only one RB went in the 1st in 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying The question had to do with Vanderbilt being in the SEC where Dutch said that it was there to "bring up the GPA" of the conference, just as Northwestern is in the Big Ten to bring up its "GPA".....so I started checking out the data......and the above is what I found. I did not know what the result of the data was going to be, (though honestly I did suspect that the Big 10 would rank out higher overall). But I did just give the data. So don't blame me....blame the data. (note I also said that you may have to take these rankings...and all rankings of this sort... with a grain of salt). And I am aware that FLA. law has a good rep. (almost as good as Cleveland-Marshall... (actually....US News and World Report ranks Fla. at #48, CSU at #106) http://schools.lawschoolnumbers.com/rankings/us-news-report-law-school-rankings (as for a Doctor...I would reccommend Johns Hopkins or the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine.
