I don't think that's fair to teenage girls

Terrific human being, outstanding rb, it will be cool to see him on the field again.
Too bad it won't be with the Browns, but it will be that way.

Bad business decision by the Browns. The guy worked so hard to come back.

I don't know Bob, he averaged 3.3 yards a carry last season and turns 30 during the season. I think it probably was a good business decision.
Not the greatest public relations move, but there's probably no position in the NFL more cutthroat than running back.

Well, it's not like they haven't made them before.
We knew, when they spent a 2nd round pick on a RB, that that RB was going to play. And then they drafted another highly successful collegiate RB. Chubb could no longer be here. It would've been awfully awkward. If games don't go quite right there'd be chants of Chubb! Chubb! Chubb!
Post draft, this is probably the best outcome.
Now, was it a bad decision to go this whole route? Well, if it wasn't done this year, it was going to happen in the near future. And with the number of severe injuries that poor guy has had throughout his collegiate and pro career.....it probably was not a bad idea. But it's impossible to 'feel' like a good idea.

I wish I could Budweiser Frog this with a gigantic YEAH BUT... I got nothing...
Having said nothing, here's what I do remember about our hero - the size of the fight in the DAWG depicted (below) without 1 ounce of I-before-team! While a couple of our Baker Mayfield cheerleaders were crying all over their pom poms - the real soul of this team was here trying to bounce back from one of the most brutal knee injuries we've ever seen on this team.

When I was a kid, about the sixth grade, I wanted to be a rb - my rb hero was Leroy Kelly, - I studied the moves he made in every game. I practiced how he ran with determination. Out on the farm, just one other house 3 miles away, I was practicing my Leroy Kelly moves out in the front yard, running past a kitchen chair, pretending it could come after me. lol. My Parents were not home - they went to visit friends about 4 miles away, at a dairy farm.
So, I practiced different speeds, shifting my weight, leaving my hips close to the "runner", but kicking out my legs. Poor kitchen chair didn't have a chance. lol.
I was working on changing speeds, kicking out, taking off, and all of a sudden I face planted into the grass. Shocked, I wondered "what the..." and went to get up. But, I couldn't. I rolled over and looked at my leg that wasn't working, and saw my kneecap on the inside of my knee. Then the pain hit - the kind of torture you'd probably get at a north korean prison camp. The kind of pain you wish you would just go unconcious, but you don't. I laid there, agonizing, until a great guy driving an empty school bus pulled over, talked to me, and put me on the bus and drove me to the hospital, and stayed there until my Parents got there. That goal had to go away. A year and a half later, it happened again, and my knee had to be re-structured. Oh well. I turned my attention to the outdoors - camping, fishing, hunting, survival.....
Talking about Nick Chubb - the way he ran always reminded me of Leroy Kelly. A while back, we had our carpet replaced with an expensive woodgrain vinyl flooring. A lot of work relocating our stuff... and going through a box that had been in my "outdoor" closet in the office - I found it. November 13, 1995, a Browns-steelers game program. $3.00 back then. And on the front, at the game we went to - it is autographed by...Leroy Kelly.

You were missing one crucial thing Cal.

Yeah, I was lucky I guess, my lower leg didn't explode off....

Myles Garrett is probably a little envious.
? He might be if/when he stops counting all his guaranteed money. Not to state the obvious; but it was so refreshing to see a star that outworked the majority of his teammates year round humbled enough to just give the ball to the official after he scored. It was as if he's he's done this before and he's conditioned himself to expect more of this ahead. He provided the type of leadership that didn't need his voice. This whole thing hasn't seemed fair at all for him; but he's not wasting any time feeling sorry for himself. I hope he gets the good karma he deserves this year...

Correct on the cutthroat position at RB.
They threw $$$ at Dwayne Bowe, OBJ, etc.
Why not throw $$ at a guy who proved himself as a Brown? That's how I look at it.
He may never get to where he was. But he earned his $$ here and wanted to stay.
I hate the business side of sports.

He wasn't going to play here. After the draft there was no longer any room for him here. Him signing elsewhere was the best thing for him.
