I wouldn't extend Hubbard unless he kills it this year.  Our investment in the OL should allow a lot of RBs to play great.  Brooks should eventually be RB1 so unless we are signing Chuba for something pretty cheap, I wouldn't do it. 

I wouldn't extend Hubbard even if he kills it.  Let him be someone elses Miles Sanders.

Having a rookie basically red-shirted RB allows us to extend Hubbard with a contract commensurate of a backup RB, which is where he’s most effective IMO. He and Brooks would make a dynamic duo in our offense. Of course that depends if Hubbard wants to stay or go for a starting role elsewhere after this season.

It's a contract year for Hubbard.  He ran well last year.  He likely gets the majority this year.  

We would be too likely to overpay to keep him.  We should just steadily draft RBs in the draft.  And people are defaulting Brooks into a #1 featured RB.  Which you can't.  Lot of sure fire RBs haven't panned out.

The better he does, the more money he will demand in the open market.  It's a lose/lose situation.  It's the reality of the modern running back position.  Draft them, play them, let them walk.

yep, I don't think you should extend really any RB.  Maybe a rare exception here or there.  Just draft them mid to late every year and build your committee like that.

And we just drafted one in the second that won't likely contribute in any meaningful way for a year

Panthers knew it when they drafted him.  Return to field time was talked about at length when we drafted him.  People didn't want to here the numbers.  He would be different.

My hope is he shows out and we trade him at the deadline to Dallas. Brooks and Sanders is a very good duo then next year Brooks + whoever we want to get cheap

There are literally stud rbs every draft.  Every year it seems deep with them.  Not sure why the simply didn't wait a year

That’s always been my thinking, no need to make major investments in RB just invest in OL and let RBs go after their rookie contract.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
