Time to draft a running back?

You get it. Suggesting a RB is borderline insanity. We just wasting picks if that's the case. So what do we do with Brooks when he comes back the following season?

 

Like cmon people think this stuff out.

There is absolutely no way this team should even remotely have brooks as part of any long term planning at this point.  It's a sunk cost.  Anything you can get from him down the road is a luxury.  I've got a strong feeling he's toast.  

 

As for drafting a guy the only person I would draft high would be Hampton in the 3rdish other then that just burn a 6th or 7th on someone for a back up role.

We need more than Hubbard who's arguably a top 5 RB. So you want to spend another draft pick on yet another RB to backup a top 5 RB.

 

I don't get it. I just don't get it.

Why tho?

Why not just sign a vet RB for cheap. I can understand if we didn't have a elite RB already, but we do! If we going offense it should be WR not another backup RB.

 

Watching this football team and RB is the last thing I would think about in the draft. It's so easy to pickup a backup RB. We drafted Brooks and failed. Don't take another risk like that. There are quality RBs available in FA for dirt cheap.

Should be a latter pick and they need to be healthy. Brooks isn't anything until he can prove he is which won't be soon, he should be basically non-existent as far as planning goes. 

If it's an early pick then these people should get fired.

11 carries for 31 yards is dogshit. Draft someone in the later rounds.

You literally judged him off 1 game in which the entire team played bad.

 

Yeah continue to waste picks on a freaking RB. This is the Panthers way. 

 

Triple trouble Chuba/Scataway/Brooks.

A 6th rd pick is cheaper

Somebody will cut a reliable running back that we can pick up cheap in FA next season.  We don't need to draft one. That being said, we have 11 picks in the upcoming draft.  I think we use up a couple of picks to move up if we need to.  No way in hell we take 11 players.

Yes. We need more than Hubbard.  Who isn’t a top 5 RB.  And go check the last draft, teams with great RBs….drafted RBs in rounds 4-5. You complete and  build backfields in the draft where it is cheap and you can find talent.  

and our PG QB that loves to play small could 100% use a recieving RB to compliment Hubbard and be there for when he eventually gets hurt

    • Okay then, tell me what your expectations are for Thielen, XL, and Coker this year If someone wants to come out there and say they think Thielen is only getting 600-700 yards this year, then yea, I'm going to then expect T-Mac to get to 1,000. If someone wants to say they think XL or Coker is going to fall back to 300 yards this year, then yea, I'm going to expect T-Mac to get to 1,000. People seem to think I'm making excuses for why T-Mac can't get there, but it's the literal opposite, my expectations for him stem from my belief our other WRs for the first time in who knows how long.   We finally have a legitimate and full WR room, not sure that's happened since the Smitty and Moose days.  It's going to make them all better players, but it will also suppress all of their stats as they're all going to cannibalize each other a little bit.    
    • It’s certainly not my shining moment. But I still made it. Running the Sacramento marathon in December and hope to have a more Jake Delhomme-level of stardom there. The Everyman that overcomes obstacles to almost reach the pinnacle of success only to have it taken away by Adam Vinateri.
