I hope he’s ok. It looked like he was hurt this week. I hope he can play vs the Saints.

Jonathan Stewart said on his podcast this week that things are different for division game week in terms of rest for key players. 

Hopefully that is the major factor.

Trying to figure out his value this offseason is going to be tough for us or any other team. His agent knows RBs in their late 20s are in low demand due to eventual fall off in production and injury risks so he’s going to get every dollar he can for his client.

I'm on board with a 3 year deal

I don’t know how he could hold up at this level of use for three years. 
And I am not counting on Brooks but Rico is what they thought they were getting in Brooks. 
 

If somehow Brooks comes back right we have a good problem.

Well somebody's gonna pay him.  It's a fair concern that he won't hold up even until he's 30, as he's 27 now.  But I'd be willing to take that risk.  Sign me up for 2-3 more seasons of Rico.  (Might have to eat a bad one for year 3)  Pay him like the top 10 back he's been this season and pound the rock.

I think he's got a couple years until he falls off hard like Stephen Davis and Marion Barber.

Yeah somebody will pay him. You can’t look at what he is doing and not want that foryour backfield.

God we are so dumb

I completely missed on Dowdle. My fault for assuming a move Dallas made was correct. That said, no one saw Dowdle being a top RB in the NFL with only a few starts and no one predicted Dowdle would push Hubbard to the bench by clearly outplaying him.

I only saw him play once and he kept hesitating and getting hit in the backfield.  I think the Dallas line was just ass and didn’t give him as much time as he needs to do his thing.

      I don't get hangovers, mostly because getting drunk is a chore. My beach routine is a bloody mary @ 11, beers til 4, Don Julio/rocks the rest of the night. Nada, zip, zilch... nothing.

      There's that plus the whole dual citizen Israel flag waver deal. That would be a problem at UNC.  That's the off the court stuff, then there's just the pure business of it all. He has a good thing going at Florida. He won a natty last year and had them in a #1 seed this year. You'd probably have to make him the highest paid coach in college basketball for him to even consider it. On top of that contract, you'd also have his $18M buyout. When you out it all together, I honestly think Golden is a very long shot to be the next Tar Heels basketball coach. There's the Tribeca of issues to overcome - off the court, the pure business of the $$$, and luring him away from an already good situation where he's proven he can compete for championships in his current environment.

      Which Round Will Carolina Draft Sawyer Robertson?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      4th is early--5th maybe?  It depends on the run of QBs on day 3--there usually is one.  However, he could drop lower.  I think it is a given that the Panthers like him, so if anyone else does, it could improve his stock.   1 month away--I am taking Friday (April 24) off work.  They'll understand.
