I wouldnt go as far as to say hes replacement level, but hes fine at center. he's not some godsend, but he isnt absolute dogshit like Corbett was at center. Frankly when you are building a roster you have to have guys who are just aight at certain positions, you cant afford pro bowlers at every position and hes a fine accordable piece that Id love to keep around for average pay. That said, I got some flack earlier in the week saying I was fine with Corbett starting at guard if theres line injuries, and sure enough there was, and sure enough he played fine. Hes not elite, no where NEAR Lewis or Hunt, but he's alright. Put it this way, Corbett at guard is not a guy you game plan for, but hes not bad, he'll do the job alright and you need those guys....just keep him away from the center spot...dude is trash at snapping the ball.

IMO I think hes just more of a big bodied reciever, the Jimmy Graham type tight end and while it may be something we want to do, it isnt who we are right now with us being a run first offense. As such, Tremble and Mitchell fit the mold of the necessary personnel. I think if we ever get to a place of being more a air raid offense he could be vital, even with that, spread offense with him is not bad either since hes such a large target.

High ankle sprain, 2-4 weeks, that said, no one is coming in and getting the playbook down better than what Dalton or Hooker will be able to do over the next 2 weeks. We are not in buy in win now mode, we are still a developing project that was in a hopeful position at this point. Use andy, if ineffective, use Hooker. Ultimately our formula the last 3 weeks winning has been Run. The. Ball. Whether its Rico or Chuba, we will run the ball atleast 30 times and ask Dalton to be opportunistic and that should be it.

I generally agree, but part of the thing is Chuba is not a bad back, he was literally our offense last year. He seems to be the emotional leader of this offense as well. At some point though the goal is hopefully to split rico and chuba carries wise. An Average starting RB gets 16-18 carries...rico got 17. we cannot kill the guy and frankly I think Chuba bruises more than rico and as such I think Chuba softens the defense for rico, IE a smash and dash situation. They do both seem to run better as the game goes on the mystery will be how to maximize those players. I personally would love to see the panthers give gaves to one or the other. This week Rico, next week Chuba, but thats never been done in the NFL and Canales would be crucified if he tried. I do agree that Rico deserved the start and chuba deserved to spell, but its tomato tomahto. Rico does us no good if hes dead by week 17 running 30x a game.

thank you. THANK fuging YOU! my god, todays game thread was absolutely miserable. What I learned in the game thread was bryce sucks, chuba sucks, canales sucks, dalton sucks. Hell I discovered Corbett sucks so bad that he made mays make a bad snap. Jesus buttfuging christ. Its a win, not a pretty one, but who cares, NFL still is the NFL, talent everywhere and especially that Jets Defense has some exceptional talent even with the offense being putrid. First time over 500 in half a decade and its the end of the world. I remember us being "Insert win total" is the worst undefeated team in NFL history all the way to 15-1.

but dude, his pff .edu score gave him a 17.43 on big time attempted pass throws to out of bounds recievers named franklin on alternating thursdays

This entire game thread has been aids. Bryce sucks, Chuba sucks, Corbett sucks, Canales sucks. Like its just no one gives a poo about the game, they just wanna complain.

Bryce to the locker room...ummm

I dont remember EVER seriously EVER having so many really young players contributing on the panthers. Its like we might actually have a bright future.

damnit, taylor in, now we actually have to take their offense seriously.

Of course I like Nalo, and the rookie pass rushers, but Evans is really becoming my favorite of this class. What a great piece for such a late round pick.

I liked the boink on the kickers helmet like "tag, yer it"

Etienne with some good returns today.

Back on that Chuba pass, Im not sure if it was Tremble or Evans on the edge, but they had a terrific block to stop the rusher and give enough time for that play to set up.

nice return by etienne there.

Chuba hubbard in, OMG

well, fug, worse thing that could happen is Fields leaving, Taylor is better than him.

well...dunno who that was...but thats gonna be a suspension, rough.

Im convinced in the game thread people dont want the the things they complain about, they just want to be mad at this point.

My god, some of you people...the hatred for Chuba...you guys really need to take a breath. I mean, I do know Rico would have had 700 yards on the first carry of the game, he would have straight up pulled a forrest gump ran out the stadium and ran for the next 73 miles while breaking tackles from roving bands of bloodthirsty mauraders, but Chuba is fine, hes a good back in his own.

everyones audio is fuged, Im gonna guess something with the audio board fuged up. Im guessing engineer in the truck is on it just waiting for the next commercial break to officially test something, but to test things right now risks losing audio completely.

chill man, its gonna be a full split and its alright, I think Chuba's punishing style sets up to soften the defense for Dowdle is good for Rico.

good awareness from bryce there after the snap.

LOL I love that they were like "they squander a good opening drive"...they got one first down...

sure, if Moton is out, BC is a decent tackle, way better than Nijman. Corbett is an alright guard, but he has no business playing center and it showed.
