Why does Chubb not get more carries?

Seriously. Is it just his health (or the worries about his health, at least)?

Without D. Henry, KW since becoming a starter is getting it done. That 16 yard TD was like watching him vs Michigan.

He was third in the league in carries coming into tonight, have to imagine the goal is to avoid giving him 25-30 carries a week if possible. Especially since Kareem Hunt is generally decent.

He's so much better than Hunt.

Henry's making his strong annual surge, but Saquon still only trails Chubb by 50 yards in the rushing department and leads all backs in all-purpose yards. Nick's having an LT'esque year in terms of td's though.

I guess it all depends on what you place value on the most.

Quite the overstatement. Chubb has 10 and LT had 28 lol. No one's getting 28 again.

Just looking at total season production, Chubb is leading Ekeler by .4 points and McCaffrey by 4 points.

Chubb is great but not that much greater than the field. If you asked the 49ers to trade CMC for Chubb, they're not making that deal.

There's always a place in the NFL for pure runners like Chubb and Henry, but the NFL is shifting toward pass catchers like Kamara, Ekeler, CMC, etc.

I can see how you thought that was the overstatement since 28 > 10.

However Chubb has 10 TDs through 8 games. If he keeps up that average and if he plays 17 games, he'll wind up with 21 or so. Certainly 28 > 21 but he did say "LT-esque", not "definitely equal to or surpassing LT". When someone is on pace for 20+ rushing TDs, I think it's fair to be reminded of LT's awesome season.

It would be more akin to Emmitt Smith or Priest Holmes, and not even equal to them. Not trying to downplay Chubb at all, but c'mon it ain't an all-time great season pace at least not yet. There's a bazooka of RB talent in the NFL and near the top they're all pretty close.

Eh, I might have gone with Terry Allen or Joe Morris but that's being pedantic. I don't think you're downplaying Chubb at all but consider through 8 weeks LT had 12 TDs during his record breaking 28 TD season. He did most of his damage the second half of the season. Considering the NFL just wrapped up week 8 and Chubb stands at 10, I think using LT-eque is fair at this current point in time. My opinion is that Chubb doesn't keep up that pace, especially with their QB1 to return after week 11. But through week 8? Yeah, that TD total reminds me of what LT used to do.

The Chargers RB2 was Michael Turner who got like 5-6 touches per game.
The Browns RB2 is Kareem Hunt who basically splits time with Chubb

LT had 350 rushing attempts in 2006
Chubb will have around 300 rushing attempts in 2022

To try to compare stats does not make sense. There is more context here that has to be considered. LT was great. Chubb is great. Watch both and I don't think you could argue against that. Is Chubb the best in the NFL...I would have a hard time saying he is not.

Grid · 11-01-2022, 11:06 AM

I am not saying he is the best, but Khalil Herbert from the Bears should be in the discussion.

Bears are the number 1 rushing team in the league right now. And Herbert has a lot to do with that, even though he is splitting carries with David Montgomery.

For RB's with a MIN of 25 rushes, he is tied with Tony Pollard & Travis Etienne with a league best 6.2 per carry.

Top 4 RB's for yards all have between 121 & 166 carries. Herbert only has 91, but he is still #7 in the league. He is also top 10 for RB's in Touch Downs.

jplarson · 12-13-2022, 12:05 PM

So where we at?

Barkley - 13 G, 251-1083-8, 4.3 Y/A. 42-261-0, 6.2 Y/R.
Chubb - 13 G, 231-1153-12, 5.0 Y/A. 20-172-0, 8.6 Y/R

Since this post on 11/01, Chubb has scored 2 TD's in the next 5 games. "LT-esque" is now out of the discussion.

That's why I qualify my statements

. But I still think it's fair to say that someone scoring 10 TDs over 8 games can remind a fan of other RBs.

The best *statistically* is Josh Jacobs based purely on volume, putting up peak Henry-like touches. Leads in rushing by 200 yards. Third highest YPC among backs. Tied for third in TDs.

His real tests are coming up with two above-average rushing defenses in NE and PIT then the top defense in the league vs SF.
