Please feel free to post a link from someone other than a pats fan forum koolaid drinker that has Michel performance rated better than Chubb’s this year.
Also Cleveland has a pretty good receiving back in Duke Johnson, but Chubb has still made a positive showing in the receiving game.
I am hoping Michel is better in his 2nd season.
Someone mentioned that if he dropped some weight he may get his burst back.
He was impressive in college, but I have not seen any of that burst he displayed against Alabama since he joined the Pats.
I am rooting for Michel, but I can’t ignore the fact that Chubb has clearly out performed him as a rookie.
