That sucks, I'm actively not trying to see the injury. Chubb is my favorite Browns player since Eric Metcalf, and I hate that this shit happened to him. Thankfully he's one of the few running backs who got a big 2nd contract, but he's the Browns entire offense. I hope this isn't the end, because he's absolutely a hall of fame talent who was well in his way to living up to that potential. It's why I hate the don't pay running backs talking points. A great back can carry your entire offense, especially if you don't have a top tier quarterback. I don't think you should ask someone to carry the load for your team and just discard them when the bills come due. It's bullshit, but capitalism.

Things I read about it (I'm definitely not watching it either) suggested Marcus Lattimore levels of bad (for my money the worst of those injuries I ever saw and the one that turned me from rubberneck-at-the-car-crash to squeamish). And it was the same knee that got obliterated in college; he was fortunate to be able to come back from it, then. He's probably done, which really fucking sucks.

In order to do what you’re suggesting the players union would have to give their approval and that’s not something you can change two weeks into the season.

Robert C Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 So not having seen what happened to Chubb, and having no desire to do so, how catastrophic was this? Marcus Latimore catastrophic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Leg bent to a complete right angle laterally. It did not look good at all. Probably tore one or both of the MCL and LCL, if not the ACL and PCL as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 And it's the same knee that he dislocated and tore his PCL, MCL, and ACL in 2015 when he was in college. There's been some speculation already that it's going to take two surgeries just to repair the damage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted September 20, 2023 Author Share Posted September 20, 2023 Why yes... that WAS the Jaws theme you heard emanating from Soldier Field... The "Alan Williams situation" he refers to is that Chicago's DC is on leave from the team, is possibly AWOL, and something may be up that will ensure he never returns...

There are plenty of teams that aren't very good, but for most of them I can at least point at something that they're trying to do and understand why they're trying to do it. The Bears look like the only explanation for anything they do is that everyone involved is just bad. You can't evaluate what they are doing because it seems like no one is actually good enough to accomplish anything so you can't even see what they're attempting to do. That sucks, because they have a few talented players, but they don't have any opportunity to show that talent. Football malpractice. For instance, Justin Fields is a pretty flawed quarterback, but he should be viable in the run game. They've called exactly two designed runs this season so far. How does this happen? You have a quarterback who seems completely lost as a passer, but he's shown himself to be a great runner, but they only use him as a passer. Everybody should be fired. You can't tell me any of these people have any idea what they're doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Cam Akers to Minnesota with some sort of draft pick swap in 2026. Considering the Vikings only have 69 rushing yards so far, seems like it's worth the gamble for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
