Hubbard's job until he loses it.

Brooks will spell him. 

Legette will line up in split back sets and sometimes start there with Brooks in the slot, I'm guessing. Allows for misdirection.

 

I think this is a good pick, but it all depends on that knee. If it goes this season at any point, bad pick.

Also ..dear God get grass in that stadium now

Thats the whole point there really isnt any RB on the planet earth that is really moving the needle for any team. 

We had the best RB in football for a couple seasons and still only managed 5 wins. 

You either have a QB or you have nothing. 

No mid second rounder is moving the needle that much unless it's a QB relaxxxx

The point is that workhorse backs are no longer a thing in the NFL. Loads are split and risks are hedged accordingly since each team carries a number of backs that all play.

That said, it is certainly better to have good backs than bad. I know nothing about this player and do feel Carolina has bigger needs but perhaps he truly is BPA.

Personally I love the pick. I love Matt Rhules wife's pick but exactly, he isn't him. I hated the Sanders pik up and got shizzed on to oblivion. Pay no attention and I hope I'm wrong on Leggette.

To compete in the NFL you need talent loaded at skill positions, hell look at Dolphins man! To compete you need game breakers and this guy has that written on him

It’s a clean ACL. The knee is fine.

What have the dolphins won other than some regular season games? 

They arent winning poo going against PM, Josh Allen, Burrow, etc. 

Tua aint it. 

To compete you need an Elite QB.

Damn...I didn't know we had to win playoff games to be good...I was thinking that if we built a team that won 9-10 games we were going somewhere...

Im not interested in years of one and outs in the playoffs. Thats no better than years of 5 wins. 

We can make the playoffs but then we dont have a snowballs chance in hell of advancing.

We may as well be the Dak Cowboys or Cousins Vikings.

They hung 70 on and NFL defense without an Elite QB sooooo we were the worst scoring offense I have ever seen....

 

You still want to argue you JUST need an elite QB now of days?

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
