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.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
