Yes I disagree with your OPINION. I disagree with both your assessment and the criteria you use. Arguing is pointless so I will leave it at thatThere is nothing to disagree about. Chubb was clearly the better runner. Chubb was clearly running behind the lesser line. Chubb was clearly being supported by the lesser QB.
I think you can still say that pick was bad if he doesn’t amount to anything else. We used a first round pick on him for multiple seasons of good contributions not one post season behind great run blocking.Whatever helps with Michel, he balled out in getting a sixth Lombardi. So I don’t think you can ever say the pick was that bad.
Having said that, really can’t argue he’s better than Chubb.
We invested first round picks at the RB and Wr position and both players look very slow
Would love to see BB put more emphasis on offensive skilled prospects with elite speed and explosiveness.
runs hard..yet goes too way too easily on first contact. Good open field runner? I rarely see any wiggle if he happens to get through the line. It's like we are talking about 2 different players. I watch a lot of other games and Sony is just a JAG..IMO.He runs hard, makes good decisions and gets the most out of what the blocking gives him. He is a good open field runner but is playing in a system that holds that back because the patriots have a “passing game rb” that gets the opportunities most likely to result in those plays.

Michel’s blocking’s has been bad, no doubt. But even when he has decent blocking he is no more than an average RB. He doesn’t break tackles, he doesn’t hit the hole hard. He doesn’t have breakaway speed. He has okay vision, I guess.
We could find a back like Sony Michel in the fifth round.
I have a fence to sell you... It's in some Florida swamplandWhatever helps with Michel, he balled out in getting a sixth Lombardi. So I don’t think you can ever say the pick was that bad.

No no no! We don't know that a better player would have performed better!
Just what I want from a first round pick. A guy who may not play out his rookie contract.5th year option????? He's halfway through his 2nd year. Your post is funny.
That's really a question for this time in 2021, if he makes it that far.

we do know that the patriots front office knows more about football and football players than some clown from nowhere....good place to start
Sony's vision is great. Unfortunately the oline this season has been that bad.
Last season he didn't need much of a crease to make a decent gain. This season he's getting hit behind the line of scrimmage.
He's not a HOFer but he's a solid running back. He's already proven that he was worth the pick imo.
No sane person disputes that Chubb has been the better player to date. The dispute is who the better player will be. And, given the knee problems of Michel, the odds are against it being the player the Patriots drafted.
And this isn’t hindsight analysis. The moment Michel was picked tons said if we had to take a RB should have taken Chubb.
