#31 Dalvin Cook (RB, Vikings) | Top 100 Players in 2022

I wouldn’t say underrated

Vikings has always had some top tier RBs.

He isn’t underrated, he’s one of the top 3 rated RBs. He’s just rated

mid imo

@thelaxlair the comment, or Dalvin?

Wow only 6?

@ThriftyKnight Thielen took all the RZ balls

Now do Nick Chubbs…

I agree man. Nothing like it

if he was on the packers no doubt packers won super bowl already or if vikings have a better qb n with dalvin cook viking s be winning more games

Same

Yep just more complete but Charles faster

But WAYYY more strong and powerful than Jamal Charles ever was by far

That’s a good comparison

Chubb also has way more yards after contact and broken tackles let’s not forget that

@B K this way overrated JT averages 5 yards or more every season he’s played… Unlike Nick Chubb he doesn’t have a top 10 back behind him taking stress of him though also this way overrated JT may only be in his 2nd year but that includes a great rookie season and a MVP contention season.

@AquaticGamZe Let’s just start and get this out of the way. The Browns having a great o line at the moment does NOT mean Chubbs success is solely from them. And it’s NOT true that Chubb is a good running back because of the modern o line.

To start I’ll just debunk this claim right away. In 2019 Chubb led the league in rushing yards up until the last game with one of the WORSE o lines in the league. In fact, he would’ve won the rushing title in 2019 but King Henry passed him the last game of the season.

Next, let’s debunk the claim that Chubb apparently doesn’t have the ability to be a pass catcher. This idea is simply not true at all. Chubb has shown that he can receive better than Henry and most likely even do it as well as Cook. *The offense Chubb plays for simply doesn’t need him to be a receiving threat, hence why he’s not doing it as much.* He’s most likely the best pure runner in the league, along with having the best footwork besides CMC. But his vision is unquestionably the best. Chubb brings all of his strengths together in each run.

Let’s compare him to Cook first. Nick Chubb missed multiple games and only had 190 attempts *while Splitting* Carrie’s with Hunt. He ended with *1,067 yards.*

Cook played 14 games in 2020 and didn’t split carries at all. He has 312 total attempts and ended with 1,557 yards.

Cook has had almost twice the amount of carries, played more games, and didn’t split carries with another back and only had 500 more. *Even then, Chubb had a larger average of yards per carry.* Cook averaged 5.0 yards a carry, meanwhile *Chubb averaged 5.6 yards a carry.*

Still not convinced? Fine. Chubb has the the most yards per rush in the 4th quarter. Henry was second with 6.62. *Chubb had 10.03!* That’s a first down every run in the 4th quarter.

Here’s one last nail (fact) in the coffin. How’s this one. *Chubb has the most yards per rush for the first 3 seasons in NFL history. Nobody ever has done what he did.*
Barry Sanders was 4th with 4.93.
Chris Johnson was 3rd with 4.97.
2nd was Jim freaking Brown with 5.07.

*And 1st is Nick Chubb with 5.23!* That’s more than anyone to ever play the sport at that position.

*I don’t doubt JT, but let’s wait to see a little more.*

@B K You wrote a whole essay that nobodys gonna read. Gotta say I respect the commitment

Being a native MN you speak the truth lbs we had Farve but he wasn’t FARVE good but well u know it’s like there is ALWAYS a missing piece the last 4 NFC championship games have gone like this OT loss, blow out loss, OT loss, blow out loss 😂 🤷🏾‍♂️ but I’ll always be a fan

Cousins is a good QB!

@LordCurrywurst I like him I don’t know why people bash him so harshly could he do better yes but let’s see what he does with a “offensive minded” coach with all the weapons I feel we should win the North
