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.

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.

      Of course it's a crapshoot to find a truly elite QB. But we don't even need that to be competitive or successful. Our two best long term starters in 3 decades of existence were both flawed yet productive passers and each led us to a Super Bowl. Hell Jake Delhomme in the year where his arm went off a cliff and we had to start Matt Moore for a couple spells we had a superior passing offense than anything we've seen under Bryce Young the last 3 years. We're still trying to crack the top 25. All I'm saying is this is not the 2023 Panthers by any means. The cupboards are not bare. We are not working with scraps. We have invested through the nose to build up the roster and the trenches on both sides of the ball. We've also added multiple first and second day pass catchers in the draft. If a QB can't succeed here they are cooked.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      That last line is the key. Passing game lives or dies off the running game. I struggle to see any help the passing has provided in return - there is no pass to op n up the run to speak of.  Add in that we have downgraded the run blocking at left tackle according to analysts,and I really don’t know what to expect from C….  It puts more load on th passing game to help out
