How would you feel if we cut Chuba and signed Hunt?

To me Chuba stinks, even as a #2 and in an effort to close out games at the end you need the ability to run the ball at the end.

 

I like the idea of an experienced vet like Kareem Hunt to be the 2 punch after Sanders

Chubba can be an asset. He may not be a #1 back, but he has obviously worked to improve his pass catching ability. We do not need to bring the baggage Kareem Hunt brings with his past. Not a good fit for the Panthers.

I wouldn't sign Hunt, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over losing Chubba either. I know that the huddle likes to refer to any non-hall of famer as a "JAG" and I know half the huddle thinks any UDFA RB can plug in and produce on any NFL team, but in the case of Hubbard, he's JAG all day.

I disagree. He's more explosive than JAG.

If we're going to sign a free agent, I'd prefer somebody like Andrew Norwell or Dalton Risner.

Per Mike Kaye from the Mailbag:

Regarding the outside options, the choices are on a very slim list. Dalton Risner, the former second-round pick of the Denver Broncos, remains unsigned for whatever reason. He played left guard in Denver, and had an up-and-down fourth season with his former squad. Defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, linebackers coach Peter Hansen and senior defensive assistant Dom Capers worked in Denver with Risner last season. If that trio felt like Risner was a good fit for the team, he probably would have been signed already, especially given the urgency of the competition on the line. Gabe Jackson, Justin Pugh and Andrew Norwell are the other “name” options, but all three of those guys are on wrong side of 30. The team could also wait for the waiver wire following cut-down day, but that would be a pretty quick turnaround for a player who wasn’t deemed worthy of a roster spot elsewhere.

I don't care about the "wrong side of 30" thing. Not every player on your roster is gonna be a long-term fixture in the locker room. In fact most aren't, regardless of age.

We've shown willingness to sign "wrong side of 30" players to short-term contracts.

(our most recent edge rushing addition, for example)

I have a hard time following Mike Kayes logic on a lot of things 

We signed 8 FA over 30 this off-season. Why would that matter for a short term band-aid in Norwell? We did it last week with Houston 

Also our Defensive staff isn't here to scout offensive lineman. We have pro scouts and front office for that

      It's actually thoughtful and thorough. Stands out from the standard youtube patterns of speech and speaking without saying anything

      Panthers run ONE play on repeat

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah. And there is something in the effort put forth to achieve the numbers that the numbers don’t quantify. Such as does Bryce have to throw with all his effort to get what CJ or whoever can get being more under control at less than 100%? I have watched a few of his games the last month or so, if his ball is good enough to win ion the NFL it is at the win threshold border line.  Eyeball between Bryce CJ and Richardson, you guys are acting like your eyes would lie to you.

      The eyeball test is subjective. You can say he has a weak arm, I can say his arm is strong (which I'm not). Who has the better "eye" for football velocity? Bryce doesn't always throw fastballs. Actually he rarely does. But he's thrown enough to show that he has more than adequate velocity. Decision making, trust in his oline, trust in his receivers... needs work. But arm strength is low on the things he needs to improve. Right along with footwork. If that's how he plays, then I'm fine with it. He's shown the ability to throw with adequate velocity and accuracy at very awkard arm angles. So he doesn't need to have stellar footwork to make throws. I could see it helping his timing though.
