...for telling your husband and worst football coach the Panthers have ever had to draft Chuba Hubbard.

https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/matt-rhules-wife-pushed-for-panthers-to-draft-chuba-hubbard

Rhule says his wife Julie texted him 10 minutes before the pick to say “please take Chuba Hubbard” and Panthers owner David Tepper then gets on the phone with Hubbard to confirm the existence of the text.

He is worth resigned for the right price or trade him to Dallas for a pick before the deadline. Either way the young man has taken the opportunity and "ran" with it.

I didn't put "BREAKING" in the title.  Just saying the man has been a bright spot on the team and produced.  Hope he gets us a pick or gets paid.  His game winning TD run today brought me a lot of joy that has been hard to come by in Panther land.

Great game Chuba!  Thank you and keep pounding!

Eh, he's still a RB2.  If he wants to re-sign on the cheap, sure, we can keep Hubbard around.  We had better not break the bank for a backup RB.

would love to keep him on a team friendly contract since he is a solid and reliable player but this is Chuba's only "big" payday as a RB this upcoming offseason

I'm sure another team will be willing to offer him a big payday

I'm hoping we trade him, as it doesn't make much sense to re-sign him, Brooks is going to be a 3 down back for us next year.

In FA we can find a big bruiser to be his backup and possible short yardage back to take some pounding off Brooks, but if we expect him to pan out, there is no reason to give a FA contract to an RB who is earning a halfway decent pay day next year with his play so far this year.

We are going to have the money to spend in FA that we're not going to get any comp pics back for anyone who leaves anyways, Hubbard, Clowney, and Thielen all should be moved.

No, he's not -- he's a top-15 RB based on his vision, speed, blocking ability and catching ability. Not saying to re-sign Chuba to a backbreaking deal, but don't let him walk if he can be had for pennies on the dollar.

He's not giving us a discount. He would be foolish to do so. We either meet his demands or we draft a late round replacement and move on. I love Chubba but business is business.

Hubbard is big runs or bust runs. Can't get the 1st downs in short yardage situations. Can't be a consistent 3rd down back in the flat. Considering the run blocking OL he has, he's not as good as he looks from just his highlight runs. My hope is that he makes a good change up back to Brooks.

Completely wrong. He's averaging 5ypc, if you take out his longest run this season, he's averaging 4.8ypc. He consistently gets at least 3-5 yards. He averages 1.9 yards after contact which is the same as Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson and better than Saquon Barkley, Breece Hall, Joe Mixon, and Jonathan Taylor to name a few (among RBs with at least 100 carries this season). He's only been tackled for a loss on 7 of his 133 carries (5.2%) He's not a big play back with only 20 runs of 10+ yards. He's as consistent as it gets.

      Bears at Panthers week 1

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.

      At least we have Mike Kay and his little buddy sidekick whoever to put you to sleep when suffering from insomnia. They're all useless unfortunately.
