Michel is the better pass catcher but doesnt do any good if he cant play:suds:

assuming health

Michel I think hes a better pass catcher, hits the hole better, and as a little shiftier with better vision.
Chubb is still good, but hasnt been the same back since his college injury. I see chubb as a middle of the road RB. Just my opinion though. I think michel can be special if he stays healthy

Todd Gurley.

If I had to choose between the two, I think Michel has the higher ceiling.

People talking knees with Chubb like Michel isn't a knee injury waiting to happen every week himself?
i agree. but the difference to me is. how they have returned.
again, im not a dr., im a therapist, even though ive been told im lying. the knee issues are two different types of issues. Chubb is still a good back, a very good back, but not the same back he was pre-injury.

Yes, assuming both players are 100% healthy.

Chubb's vision is still very good, though. He has looked fantastic since getting a fulltime role with the Browns, fwiw.

his vision is good, his ability to hit the hole is another thing

not to be a jerk, but her ran decent against cleveland, not good against pitt, not good against chiefs, and shredded the worst D in the league

Michel is the dual threat who is going to earn his keep outside the tackle box as a runner while Chubb is a power runner with deceptive speed who can make a living up the middle. I can see both being successful but I think Michel's strengths heavily depend on the offense and who the quarterback is while you could insert Chubb into almost any lineup. That's why I'd go with Chubb personally but I wouldn't say you're wrong to take Michel.

IMO Chubb is the safe bet but Michel has the potential to be a home run.

I think 4 games is a suspect sample size. If anything it just highlights the weakness of betting on RB's in general. We're trained to be sensitive to detect a .1-.3 difference in YPC.

Modern medicine has progressed to the point where these knee injuries aren't career enders like they used to be. People forget Gurley had a pretty rough knee injury in college and he looks unstoppable for the Rams.

Gurley tore up his knee in college too, so I wouldn't hold it against Chubb. His junior season in college was definitely effected, but his senior season he showed no ill effects, and he hasn't his rookie season in the NFL either.

you watched him more than me, i jsut think he looked FAR more dominant pre injury, and far better hit the hole

i agree, just using at as a counterpoint to him being really good since taking over

absolutely, but there is always inherent risks, and some come back better than others

He wasn't the same his junior season, but he was just as good as a senior as he was his sophomore year before the injury.

Michel dealt with his share of injuries too, but his issues were mostly shoulder problems.
