RBs can both play on down 1 game 1. Mayfield will not likely do so. So we have 1 QB playing right away far better than those 3, but we have two new RBs far better than that unproductive group last year. Two guys who can consistently move the chains and help the QBs hit the short passes by keeping LBs honest. And they both have the vision to see the lateral holes that Crow was incapable of seeing. That combination will keep the defense off the field enough so they don't lose their edge in the latter part of the game. We have the line to play keepaway and now the backs running behind them to execute it. This season is gonna be fun to watch.

I knew what he meant - the rb's can be stars from game one.
It will take time for Mayfield to see the field - not sure he can beat out Taylor for a while.
That "unproductive" RB room produced enough to make us 18th in yards and 6th in YPA in 2017. Passing? 21st and 30th respectively.
The baseline for improvement is far lower for the QB room and Taylor is good enough capitalize that. And while I see improvement in our RB room, I am not confusing Hyde-Chubb with Byner-Mack.

The addition of Hyde and Chubb is part of that improvement at qb though - along with Landry and hopefully,
Calloway mebbe.
The Browns now have two rb hammers who can run yac, and with the improvement in the passing game - a better qb/qbs
will have a chance to excel and start winning games right from the beginning of the regular season.
Both qb's are legit field generals - who can bring out the best in the rest of the offense. I saw a thing on the nfl channel, where they showed how Mayfield makes so many successful throws, while reading the field and getting the ball out so very fast.
That, mebbe, could be the point that gives Mayfield an advantage - seems that Taylor is a lot more a running qb - Mayfield is more the fast read thrower for completions. So, maybe I'm not sure that the dramatic improvement at qb, granted, makes the running game a whole lot better, but the addition of power runners at rb will make the qbs even better. I think.
I see the difference from this video, as an example, and watching videos of Mayfield:

Fair enough. But the bottom line I saw missing all season long was the RBs not giving us those 1st downs, especially the closer we got to the goal line. This group changes that most important of all stats. Now I realize that some of that was our HC and his goofy redzone plan every game, but now I feel when things tighten up defensively we have backs that can find those little creases that do not lead to an OL's butt.hole.

Wow, there's a lot to like there!
In regard to the video- definitely, He's the opposite of Saquon, way better ability to break tackles.

That was what the Barkley crowd was harping on with Saquon. The lure of instant offense. It will be interesting to compare Chubb and Saquon's stats after the first year. Only thing is, the Browns are obviously going running back by committee.

looking like Haley is keeping the FB around..when you watched your sleeper RB at Northwestern, did you notice his blocking FB Garrett Dickerson? now coming in for tryout (udfa)

If chubb ends up being anything like Eddie George that's a steal of a pick in rd 2.
Uh...yea. And a guy here said that to compare him to George is no compliment!
Sometimes some people don't have a clue.

good golly, compared him to Eddie George as NOT a compliment???
egad. that just ....yep. No clue.
