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. 

Cowboys fans are pissed that they let him go to sign Javonte Williams

Do you ever have anything good to say about anything the Panthers do? 😄 

You need 2 starting caliber RBs and I don't want to waste a high draft pick on one.

Could we get lucky and get a guy in the later rounds? Absolutely, but why take the risk when we signed a proven RB with the money we saved from cutting Miles Sanders.

We're still almost certainly going to draft at least one RB and probably add another undrafted guy.

This was objectively a good move

Well, the Cowboys are a bad drafting team as well so they’d be stupid to let Williams stop them from drafting a RB as well. Williams is completely below average at this point. Post injury, he’s been meh at best. I would be even more pissed if we signed him over a rookie.

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

A good stopgap while Jonathan Brooks is on the mend. If he comes back in ‘26, Dowdle can cash in elsewhere if he balls out with us. If Brooks doesn’t return, Dowdle makes his case to be the #2 RB. And the best part - we can use our draft picks to address other areas of need. Win-win!!!

They gave Javonte Williams almost the exact same deal we gave Dowdle. Dowdle is undoubtedly better.

They signed a RB in Javonte Wiiliams.

 

There were rumors the Panthers tired to sign him. He was another KC connect to Tilis. Maybe this was a little pay back, I much approve Rico >> javonte.

 

Notice Dan or I should say Brandt is loading up on these incentive type 1-2 years deals. Feel like 90% have them...

must be a 2 year plan too...

Would’ve rather tried to get a RB in the draft. If for some reason we failed to do so, there still would’ve been plenty of FA RB’s available post draft to spell Chuba.. RB’s hang around the FA market longer than any other position. Morgan would rather be “loyal” to Brooks and prove to people it wasn’t a bad pick, than take advantage of a strong RB class. I don’t agree with Morgan’s strategy, but I rarely do.

Two 1000 yard running backs behind a stout oline, and the possibility to get another good one in the draft down the line. Bryce on the upswing and things looking much better. Spend most of the draft on defense and then bring it on.

Plus guys, Im fairly sure this will have no effect on drafting RB, in other words they will be drafting one.

 

Also some tough talk, Panthers need to act like Brooks will ever play again. Nothing can be done about going back in time and not using that 2nd on him. He's here and rehabbing. If he defies the odds against him, bonus to Panthers future. Wrong/unfair stuff happens in ball, trying not to sound heartless...

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      By strato · Posted

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
