The draft didn’t go as planned for the Chicago Bears, at least according to fans. They had been expecting a big swing at running back. New head coach Ben Johnson built his highly successful offense on the ground game. D’Andre Swift isn’t a true workhorse type that can carry a full load. They had to find somebody to pair with him. Ashton Jeanty was the apple of their eyes. He went to Las Vegas. Omarion Hampton? TreVeyon Henderson? Both went before the Bears selected again in the 2nd round. After that, the team just never managed to catch a break on the board, resorting to a 7th round pick for Kyle Monangai. Those shortcomings are what led to the discussions of Nick Chubb.
The former Pro Bowler had an outstanding run in Cleveland over the past several years before a horrific knee injury ended his 2023 season. When he finally returned last year, he never looked quite right. Still, it is believed he should be mostly healthy now. Speculation is already rampant that Chicago is interested. However, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune believes a different name is the one to watch.
Chubb turns 30 in December and has been a high-volume player with 1,340 NFL carries. His best days are behind him, and because of his age and the severity of the knee injury, I’m not sure he’s the fit the Bears would be seeking if they’re in the market for a back.
(J.K.) Dobbins, who is three years younger than Chubb, would make more sense. He has had health issues, too, with two knee injuries and an Achilles injury limiting him to nine games over three seasons from 2021 to 2023. However, he played in 13 games for the Los Angeles Chargers last season and carried 195 times for 905 yards (4.6 average) with nine touchdowns. He’s also more versatile out of the backfield than Chubb.
Dobbins offers the same problems as Nick Chubb.
He does have the advantage of being three years younger. However, his health has been a constant question mark for years. Dobbins tore his ACL in 2021 and his Achilles in 2023. A knee injury last year also knocked him out for a full month. Reliability isn’t his biggest selling point. The truth is, both he and Nick Chubb are available for a reason. Teams know each has durability concerns and likely aren’t the players they were a few years ago. It comes down to whether anybody thinks they might have one more good year in them. The Bears will likely spend the next two months getting a feel for what they have on the roster. If the depth chart lacks something, Chubb or somebody else will get the call.
my best friend’s sister gets $92 an hour on the internet…p she’s been laid off for two months, the previous month her paycheck was $20328 only working at home for a couple of hours each day…check out……. Www.Paycash1.site
I’ve made $84,000 so far this month working online and I’m a full time student. I’m using an online business opportunity I heard about and I’ve made such great money. It’s really user friendly and I’m just so happy that I found out about it. The potential with this is endless.
Here’s what I do. . . . . . NetPay1.Com
Sign them BOTH to Bear friendly short term contracts. No one has signed them so it might not be such an absurd idea. If the Bears honestly believe they’re going to make a Super Bowl run and not just a decent improvement one I would do it.
1 word that you seem to avoid like the fucking plague. ACCOUNTABILITY. Who’s to blame? Poles, Johnson, Allen or your new victim Roushar? This permanent mediocrity the Bears suffer from is because of people like you explaining away shitty drafts and hyping 7th round picks taken in the 4th by throwing responsibility for those picks into the ether. You act as though there’s no way to judge picks because they could be basically anyone within the organization’s idea. That’s dog shit. They are all Pole’s responsibility, the coaches can tell him what they want, the who is his choice and… Read more »
John 57 or Bears 57 or whatever the hell you’re calling yourself. Why are you bitching so hard about the draft? And about supposed guys left on the table? I’m sure you’ve done plenty of reading to know that by the time they got into about the mid rounds and beyond, all this was about addressing Dennis Allen’s needs , so the first part of the draft didn’t quite go the way they hoped but they adequately got what they needed. The rest of the way The pics were either Dennis Allen pics or I’ve heard some of these pics… Read more »
