Need at least 3 RBs. Hubbard/Brooks/Etienne has a lot of potential. Dowdle will be gone. He’ll either play well and price himself out of our range or not and we wouldn’t want to resign. 

He has to get healthy and stay healthy for there to be potential. If I'm being honest even when he finishes rehab and begins gradually getting onto the field again we're all going to be holding our collective breath. If we're thinking it then it also has to have some level of effect on Brooks himself too. It's a tough situation for an athlete.

Dowdle could be one and done or he could stick around. It all depends on what transpires. He was a one thousand yard back last year so I would not write him off as already out the door just yet.

He was consensus RB1. We were able to draft him in the mid 2nd bc of his injury. Without it, we would have never had the chance in that spot. Call it whatever you like. 

Thats true but it also ignores the fact that the "market" said the number 1 RB wasnt worth going before that given the injury. We only have strong rumor that Dallas would take him. The end result is a guy who will only play half of his rookie contract. So even if he turns out good, we won't be able to monetize that. In other words you are putting yourself in a position where instead of a home run you have to hit a grandslam for the gamble to payoff. Bad odds. All im saying. Bad odds.

Good question. He looked good in the extremely limited looks he’s had in a Panthers uniform. My hope is he becomes a knockoff J Gibbs in relief of Hubbard. 
 

My realistic thought is he’ll be a threat in the passing game over the next two years and then, if he is an asset, take a reasonable deal on a second contract due to his limited play and extensive injury history. 

He'll only take a reasonable deal if there is no market, which, again, is a sign it wasnt the best move.

      He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.

      there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.
