Henderson on the Chubb vs Penny issue
Troubling trend: You can't pass definitive judgment on a draft pick less than a season-and-a half in, but the Seahawks' decision to pass on Nick Chubb in favor of Rashaad Penny with the 27th overall pick last year is not looking like a good one. How's this for irony: Part of the reason the Seahawks went with Penny was they felt he was the more durable player and better pass-catcher than Chubb. Well, Chubb ran for 122 yard and two touchdowns on 20 carries and caught five passes for 17 yards on Sunday (he lost a fumble on one of those catches). Penny, meanwhile, missed his third game of the season with a hamstring injury -- his fifth missed game out of a possible 22 for his career. Watching Chubb play well with Penny on the sideline would have been a lot harder for the Seahawks to stomach had they lost.

Re: Down with the Browns game thread
I almost feel like if all the experts had said Penny is a better pick than Chubb they would have picked Chubb. It's like they are obsessed with making contrarian picks.

Re: Down with the Browns game thread
I don't think it was contrarian was it, thought the issue was taking a RB, not the one they took, been a roll of the dice between the two of them on draft day
Penny was rated higher than Chubb here, though pretty much even

Re: Down with the Browns game thread
I remember that team too. They were coming off their 9-7 season in 1979 with Jim Zorn's high-powered offense, started out 4-3 and then lost their last nine a row. The magic of Zorn and Jack Patera just went poof.JAWA wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2019 1:30 amWow, so they won all of their games on the road that year.

Re: Down with the Browns game thread
I still don't get how RP pulled a hamstring in a practice or walk-through so badly that he has been unable to take the field in 3 of the past 4 games. He also looks heavier than his listed weight. Something isn't right with his S & C routine and diet. And then there's Carson running through brick walls every game and coming back for more, even on 3 days rest. One guy wants it, the other doesn't seem to give a damn.

And now he's gone. If Davis was so much better than Penny they wouldn't have let him go this season.Michael K. wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2019 5:40 am
