You got me brother. In the mean time I'm fine winning with a strong running game and defense.

Yes Byrce for all the critique he receives myself included, he's elusive and tough to get down back there. We experienced Andy last week and he was a statue and took 7 sacks. Couple Byrce ability not to take sacks and Rico ability to get positive yardage, very few negative plays, if they don't make costly turnovers it's a very good ball control offense. Green Bay only had 3 drives in the 1st half and the last one was a 2 minute drive at the end of the half, so that's how the Panthers can compete with some of the better teams.

He's been an ok back. He was a rotational player up until 2024 season. He rushed for an respectable 1100 yards as the feature back last season but he's never been a big time gamechanger just a grinder. The best version of this Panther rushing attack is what you saw today when Chuba is called to spell Rico when he needs a breather none of that alternating series.

Lol as if you know what the Panthers will or don't do. At the end of the day they either make winning decisions or they dont. Your total numbers still fail in comparison for what it's worth.

Agreed Chuba's been a good player on some bad teams not knocking him for giving his all. But Panthers should be trying to upgrade the roster across the board when given the chance and playmakers you can lean on week to week don't just fall out the sky.

2023: 17 games Chuba Hubbard: 902 yards - 3.8 ypc Only once in 17 game season did he go over 100 yards, when he rushed 104 against Tampa. Panthers had 2-15 record. 2025: 9 games Rico Dowdle: 735 yards - 5.6 ypc Averaging 173 rush yards in his only 3 starts, team has won all 3 games, above .500 in November. Levels to it.

They definitely shouldn't quit those days jobs. Philadelphia Eagles just last season rode Saquan Barkley to a Superbowl. You need a playmaker at that position for teams who don't have Mahomes, Manning, or Brady quarterbacking the team.

That works against them because they all have to play each other. Same for NFC West. If the Panthers can sweep the Saints and Falcons that would go along way in the playoff race.

03 Steven Davis was a beast also

Don't feel too bad this Panthers team isn't as bad as most NFL fans think if they play within themselves stick to what they do best. Its only when they go outside that formula for whatever reasons things get crazy. Good luck the rest of the way, Green Bay is still a solid team and in good position in the NFC.

Whatever metric you want to go by. Yards a game. Total rush yards Yards a carry. Top 5 Who knows if he would have gotten the keys to the car from the start where those numbers would be.

He better than pre-injury Hubbard by far. Better than post-injury Hubbard by a landslide.

Top 5 in Production you know what counts. What other metric are you defining it? We just went in and beat a 5-1 team at home and the offense was fueled by the running game. Tepper and some of the fans have been waiting for their "Ptarick Mahomes" to walk through the door for a few seasons now at the behest of other positions on the team how has that worked out so far? We have a guy playing at an elite level and has ilus playing meaningful football in November since forever it seems. And you guys want to act as if that's not a player we need, just wait until we get our Qb just wait....

Take a look at the stats when the games finish today. And that's on 3 starts.

Foreman looked nothing like Rico, he would have a big game and then would be a dud the next game. He couldn't make something out nothing, but with some blocking he could break one on you for sure. Foreman was off the scrap heap, Rico was a 1000 yard back last season after starting as a backup, he's was slept on more than anything. His play ignites the whole team offense and defense. You don't just thank a top 5 player at his position for his service and let him walk. Green Bay was the 3rd ranked rushing defense in the league and couldn't stop him.

I dont think it's a team thats hard to figure out, the formula for winning has been on display for a few weeks now.

I know people notice the explosive way he runs, but his biggest attribute is his vision. He finds the right holes, he was a option read QB in high school, so he understands blocking schemes and how to read the the way the defense is playing the run, which I think gives him an advantage.

Give Evero defense some credit. Truth be told his bend but dont break keep everything in front of you defense is tailor made for Green Bay's offense who are the standard take big shots offense. The Panthers defense is improving but they need the offense to play complimentary ball control and let them stay fresh throughout the game.

The pass to McMillan on the last drive, before Rico broke the 19 harder, Bryce passing is what kept the sticks moving. I didn't say he played great, I said he made some clutch plays.

At no point was I comparing their style of play.

He also made bone headed decisions and was wildly inaccurate at times not saying the style of play is similar. Just the formula of how the Panthers need to play to win.

Bryce is a interesting case. His play doesnt wow you, but when called upon he makes some clutch plays. We had that before with Delhomme a good running and some good defense that style of play can keep games close and win some games.

Some Panther fans on Huddle "let's trade Dowdle while he's hot we can ride with Chuba and Ettiene. Bad take, bad, bad, take.

I told you just give Rico the ball and this offense is much more in sync. Should have been our gameplay against Buffalo 31st ranked rush defense. Green Bay is no slouch they are the 3rd ranked rush defense in the league
