Except it’s literally not. Dowdle is on a 1 year deal and Brooks won’t play a down until 2026.

He also said day 3 pick which is likely where we’ll land on drafting one.

Care to name the other backs on our roster next year?

If we pick up a running back in the draft he will be 3rd string this year and next

Fantastic signing. I can’t believe some fools think signing a 1,000 yard rusher for 3 million is a bad move. “We can easily draft a guy in the 6th round that will be an all pro and rush for 1,500 yards on a deal that only pays 1 million!” Seems legit. This is great great great news and Bryce Young is thrilled to have two proven capable RB’s behind this line to depend on this season. 

Exactly look how long it took for chubba to develop. He would fumble KO in his rookie year.

in a historically good rb draft we are signing vets for this?  Doesnt compute

  We can still take a guy in the draft. Like 4th round or later. Somebody gonna fall. There are so many options out there.

The math doesn't really work on that.  If you need a RB, having a historically good RB draft gives you a better chance of getting one without reaching.  But it doesn't mean that you purposely go into a draft seeking that position.  We still want BPA, whatever position it is.  If we get BPA, but a bunch of the picks around it are RB, who cares?

Strong logic. Address as many needs as you can before the draft to allow BPA. Going into the draft forced to draft specific positions at specific rounds means possibly missing on some better talent. We all know this roster needs talent.

Exactly, which is why I don’t like this. Dowdle is a JAG. If he wasn’t, the Cowboys would have extended him. They are clearly going RB in the draft.

There were several RBs taken last year day 3 that would be suitable complimentary RBs to Hubbard and there will be again this year.

Oh well, at least it’s not much but it will be annoying if somehow we skip over this RB class.

They signed a RB in Javonte Wiiliams.

      It's rare enough for a running back to tear the same ACL twice. There's not much of a sample size on the recoveries. And of course Dobbins has missed a lot of time--he was injured twice. That number will drop as his career continues, and even if it doesn't, that doesn't necessarily mean it has anything to do with the prior injuries. Dobbins just started and played well for a playoff team all year until he was injured by a hip-drop tackle. Surely his ACL recoveries didn't contribute to his completely random foot injury caused by an illegal tackle? Again, I'm confused why everyone is being so definitive that there's 'very little chance' of any meaningful contribution ever when the greatest counterpoint ever played for us. Thomas Davis tore the same knee over and over again and was basically fine. As for the roster-building stuff, we'll see what happens with Chuba and Dowdle at the end of the year, but Etienne's not going to factor into this. Either Brooks comes back, in which case we've already seen more from him than we have from Etienne, or he doesn't. But Etienne's not forcing him off the team. If anything, Etienne's current role is his absolute floor.

      Then I would assume disingenuous. Why on earth would you consider this an "exciting" time to be a Panthers fan? Let me ask this, how old are you and how long have you been an NFL fan?

      An ESPN writer had a good breakdown of teams that were likely to come back to earth(KC and Redskins were two of them) based on outlier results in 2024 in close games. I think that has a lot to do with it. Found it: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts
