That's what people said about McCaffrey, and Moore, too. It's always wrong.

He's averaging 5.6 yards per carry and nearly 100 yards a game. He's driven, and wants to excel. Pay the man. I'm sick of being a farm team.

I get and understand that.

Think about it, does a team with zero playoff hopes need to pay a RB 10+ per year??

Thats what smarty marty would do sign him to a 5 year 70 million deal.

The smart move would be trade him to add a lotto ticket to rebuild fund.

You simply don't pay rbs a second contract.  How many examples do you need to understand this?

I was and am anti trading CMC today this day, for what its worth. Chubba is way diff. 

I thought it was beyond dumb to any RB 16 million per. To get away form that contract I was for trading him, but the package needed some more levels to protect carolina. Example if SF reaches the championship carolina gains 2025 2nd. 

Carolina had to listen the their doctors giving them, "yea this guy is not going to last, hes got arthritis".

Why should I even watch this team if we're garbage every year and don't extend the few players we get that are good? Yeah sure we'll draft a replacement, we're good at drafting right? And we're even better at trades.

Just ship off all our rare draft wins to other teams for picks that we'll lose on. This is how you end up with generationally bad teams.

I tend to agree with you in principal. I really like Hubbard and what he adds to the team production wise and mentality wise.

The issue is the Panthers have needs across the roster and just invested a ton in the oline. Center is still a need as well.

None of this is even mentioning the fact we just traded up to select an RB in the second round this year.

Then we have to look back at the signings of "Double Trouble" from long ago and even then that is now known to have been a bad move to say the least. But at least the team around them was serviceable. This is probably the worst shape our roster has been in that I can recall.

One can like Hubbard and ultimately prefer to retain him while also acknowledging it is most likely unwise to invest another significant contract in the position when accounting for the full picture of the current predicament.

Great, and then we can just watch him excel somewhere else while we go 2-15 again, wondering why we can't get any sort of sustained success.

Build off what you have. Not what you want.

We are realistically all homerism aside 2-3 years minimum from competing for anything of significance. It is going to take at least a few very good drafts.

These are tough conversations for tough times. It is what it is.

They will be hard to watch with or without hubbard.

pray for luck my friend, they are waaaay over due for some. 

I put 1% chance that panthers resign him, why not get a mid rounder or two?

panther bro, Im at lost too with this team....

We won't be any closer to winning by disposing of the few draft victories we have.

Chubba is our only productive player...again.  if I'm him, I don't want to spend my prime years in Carolina.  We are a dumpster fire right now.  Today, we can't do anything at all, on either side of the ball.

Heck, I'd demand a trade if I were him.  Get me out of here.

We are 3-21 with Chubba playing well. You can get RBs pretty easily. Look at Mason, Hunt and others filling in well for injured RBs. We took Brooks in the 2nd. Spending money on a second contract for Chubba while we still suck isn’t smart. We’ve continued to spend right up to the came while not getting more than 7 wins for years. That’s why we had to find a trade partner for Burns before we signed the guards. We had zero leverage because we had no cap space, which is truly mind boggling considering we were 2-15. We have to build around Brooks and hopefully get a comp pick or trade Chubba. We can’t sign yet another big deal on a RB.

Agreed. I always laugh at people saying don’t trade players for picks. There’s an assumption that Diontae and Chubba want to sign up for another bunch of years here. Reminds me of Andrew Whitworth signing with the Rams and people being mad we didn’t sign him. He wanted to be in LA, which is even more clear now considering his new career. There was likely 0 chance he was even thinking about signing here.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
