RB Nick Chubb, CLE (3 Viewers)

I didn't see what happened in real time and I will never watch that replay in my life. Based on all of the comments, I'm horrified. The dark side of this violent game.
 
This was supposed to be the year. Great line, Good QB, and No Hunt…I seriously thought he had a legit shot to finish as overall RB1.

Chubb is a joy to watch and an awesome guy off the field. Seeing these injuries to guys like him just makes me question why I even watch football.

Yep. You can tell how much he means to that locker room. They've been playing some inspired football since he went down.

this is what Chubb dodged the 1st time:
“When you see a knee hyperextend to that degree, rarely do you see that injury only result in a ligamentous injury,” said Dr. Mark Adickes, an orthopedic surgeon and former NFL offensive lineman. “Typically, an injury like that damages the peroneal nerve, which makes it so you can no longer lift your foot up.”

I don't think he's that lucky now. That hit was straight on the knee and IMHO a BS dirty hit.

Agree
 
There’s also a worry for artery damage on dislocations like this. Zach Miller for the Bears a few years back had a career ender in the end zone when his knee buckled backwards, nearly had to be amputated and he still had numbness. Fortunately this likely isn’t as severe given the angle but there is more at play here than just the ligaments. Arteries and nerves are first concern.

Absolutely dirty. Really hate to see players do that.
 
Chubb was the player I rooted for no matter what. I didn't get him on my team this year but I felt like he had a chance to be something special. And now he may never play again. This is why RBs want their money up front and it's why owners don't want to pay them. Horrible reminder that this is basically modern day gladiators.
 
Uggh. Not good. Ian Rapoport saying likely multiple torn ligaments. I saw another doctor analyze the replay on youtube and he effectively said he expected multiple torn ligaments and most likely a dislocated knee. Definitely season ending and possibly could effect his career according to the doctor.

Very unfortunate, but if there's a silver lining, at least he had a great career after the horror injury at Georgia.

I really think Chubb pre-injury was one of the best RB talents I've ever seen, and he bounced back well the first time eventually.

Of the last 15 years, I think he's the 2nd or 3rd most impressive runner I've watched.

1. Lynch
2. Peterson/Chubb

I know this will sound weird given what we know about QB/RB value, but I truly believe the Browns would have been much better off losing Watson than Chubb. Chubb was their leader and captain, and best offensive player. Browns may have just gone from a division contender to top-10 pick.

I agree with you. I think the Browns would definitely be better off losing Watson than Chubb. I’ll probably get crucified for saying this—but I think that Cleveland would have been better off with Baker than Deshaun.

As time passes, I become more appreciative of Adrian Peterson. There have been better receiving backs, but nobody in my lifetime other than maybe Barry was a better runner. Unbelievable talent. You see guys compared to him every once in a while and they just never have the same quality. It's the footwork. His feet never stopped moving. He was amazingly slippery in addition to the size and speed.

I think I go Barkley and Tomlinson to round out my top 3 of pure RB talents post-2000, but Chubb is right up there with Ricky Williams, Marshawn, Steven Jackson, etc. The crazy thing about Chubb is that it's possible we never even saw his full potential. He was so sensational in those early games at Georgia before the injury. You have to wonder how good he might have been if he had never gotten hurt. His production dipped the first season back. By his final college season he was mostly "back", but maybe had lost a whisker of his old burst. Otherwise he might have been a top 5-10 draft pick. He definitely had that look early in his NCAA career.

Houston has their pick as well. Traded their own for Anderson with Cleveland’s in their back pocket.

I don't think Minkah was trying to injure Chubb. The NFL efforts to reduce helmet to helmet to contact is forcing the defenders to go low. This just seems like a freak accident.

Exactly. Players have been saying for years that the emphasis on avoiding hits to the head will lead to more leg injuries.

Nothing dirty about that hit.
Click to expand...
i agree as well. it looks dirty cause of what happened but everything moves so fast out there and chubb is one of the strongest rbs in the league so you have to do what you can to take him down. to me it's just a freak accident. mikah's hit combined with chubb planting his foot at the moment of impact just created the worst case scenario for the leg to be caught. if the hit was just a little bit later or earlier it may not have happened and no one would think anything of it. just a horrible timing thing

I watched it a few times (unfortunately) and I didn't see a dirty hit. He went low but, as mentioned, that happens all the time when defenders are forced to avoid going too high to the head. We get to see it in slow motion, but these strong mammoth guys are going like 100 miles per hour on each play in a very tight space, and injuries sadly happen.
 
Saw the injury by accident this morning -- I don't mind this being out there, but I'd rather not have it shoved in my face while I'm just trying to have some coffee and see what's going on in the world. Anyway, it is worse than I imagined and somehow worse than the Willis McGahee injury. It's actually more like Napolean McCallum only sideways. If you're the kind of person who actively dislikes seeing injuries, this is not a close call. You do not want to see this.

I feel bad for Browns fans who have been through a lot the last few years. I don't like some of the personnel moves this club has made, but the fans are just along for the ride on those things. Nothing ever seems to work out for this franchise.

I was actively avoiding anything that looked like a video and then someone got me with a screenshot randomly on a post. Definitely didn't want to see it either.

This is depressing for football as a whole imo. And yeah, especially a massive gut punch to the browns fans.
 
In PA, we have had 5 high school players life flighted in the last 2 weeks, one has already died last Friday and one is hanging one, one has a bruised spinal cord.

Add that to injuries in College and what has happened in the NFL and I think in 5-7 years football will be changing a lot of what they do and allow.
 
I'm no UGA fan but I've loved watching Chubb run since college and my respect and admiration has grown watching him overcome doubts in the pros to be what I really thought was the best pure RB in his time. I know the odds are stacked against him but I'm rooting for him big time to make some kind of return and do what I assume he loves. He was an easy guy to root for.
 
After i'd had 2 minutes to calm down from being pissed that his injury cost me a win, I realized just how selfish i'd been thinking like that and how something like this makes me want to quit FF altogether quite honestly. Here I am spitting nails because i'm going to lose my stupid fake football matchup while there's a dude on the ground just has his knee violently bent sideways and may not even play again. Prayers for a big recovery Mr Chubb, rooting for you.

I have to admit, the first thing I thought of was whether there was a Browns RB on the waiver wire. That's sad and I felt ashamed immediately.
 
A lot of guys being a little too hard on themselves, in my estimation ...

Would I want to go through that injury? Absolutely no way, it would be unbelievably painful, and I'm sure the recovery process is horrible. Would I go through it for $20,000,000 ............ thinking ......

My point is not that it's all fine and dandy for him -- and maybe I'm too much of a robot to understand some of the feelings here -- but an injury to a football player does not affect me at all. I did not feel an ounce of guilt for considering the fantasy football, and football, implications immediately.

Bad thing for Chubb is i think it was the same knee he shredded in college. How much can one knee sustain and be functional?

The truth is I am surprised this does not happen almost every game. Players are too big, too strong and too fast now, something is going to give and it won`t be the turf.

Nah, McGahee isn’t the comp. It’s Marcus Lattimore. Willis was head on, Lattimore had the same side angle with multiple ligament tears and dislocation. Sean Livingston in the NBA also.

Sadly I think it pretty much ends his career. At least as we knew him. Real shame. Nothing but respect for Chubb.

Was in the stadium when the Lattimore one happened and thought of that immediately 🥺

We like the same type of running backs. Shame Lattimore never got in the league with his injuries, he was cut from this cloth.
