Someone correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t Chuba far superior with blitz pickup compared to Rico? Maybe this was DC’s rationale? 

maybe. in rico's two starts they didn't really have to worry about picking up the blitz because of who the opponents were. 

Chuba looked like he whiff'd on a blitz pickup yesterday but that was actually just a really good stunt from the jets and he was blocking where Bryce told him to. Defense gets paid too.

Well Chuba is interesting because he's kind of just a jack of all trades.  He's not really a power back.  He's not really a speed back.  He's not really a receiving back.  He sort of does it all at an acceptable level.

 

That's a good analysis. He's not a RB that you can really build an offense around. But, if he was starting behind a solid O-line,  and on a contending team,  he'd be a perennial 1,000 yard back during his prime with 16-18 carries per game.

Yeah I feel like he's more limited in a committee style system because of this.

If you think about it, the tandems are supposed to cover each other's weaknesses.  You get two different kinds of specialist with opposing weaknesses, and they cover each other.  You get a guy who's a jack of all trades, master of none.  He's just kind of an underwhelming rotational guy (based on contract) once you get some other talent at RB rotating in.

Chuba is a key leader on this team and he needs to give Chuba an opportunity to keep the starting job and this is the right way to handle this.  We can all see that Rico is a better back at the moment and he's going to win the starting job, but he needs to win if fair and square with both backs battling it out and not when a guy is injured.  Two backs going 110% to be the starter is a good thing.  

He already won it fair and square.  Canales just refused to do the right thing

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
