This is really simple. You play Rico until he’s tired and asks for a break. You also sub in Chuba during obvious passing situations because Rico can’t block for poo. That’s it, that’s the rotation.

Well I agree, There's more at play here. Say you do just that and now its the off-season, Rico gets 3 years 32million from some team and Chubba is still here...... He's now upset after the team hurt his "ego" and now wants to be traded......

Now the Panthers are praying a double ACL'd RB can be the new lead back while he is thinking about retiring.....Tevor is still a #3, so.......drafting a RB in the first is back on the menu, followed by me and many others bitachin non-stop about spending a 1st on RB.....

I didn’t like it when we had Deangelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, I like it even less with Hubbard and Dowdle. I also think it sends a bad message. It tells our backups that it doesn’t matter what they do or how well they play, they are locked into being a backup.

fuging hernaiy was paying top 5 money to BOTH of them, while the whole league was not paying RBs......

 

They should have traded dwill.....no they should have never draft either RB, they even signed Tolldozer to some high level contract as a 3rd option too. Just wasted cap space and draft resources when the smart teams had already de-valued RBs..... ugh...

If your goal is the playoffs and ultimately a SB ring, fug your ego. Do what is best for the team as a whole. Eventually Rico will have an off game or 2 and Chuba will get the bulk. It's just the way it goes.

I agree.

Again Chubba has just started his 4yr 32mill deal and Rico will be gone to the highest bidder in the off-season. 

They need to keep Chubba "happy" and he has earned plenty after replacing CMC. I think the best deal is to give this 2 more weeks and reevaluate. If Rico is the clear best RB and they are in the playoff hunt, fug dem egos!!

And it is delicate because Chuba is a Captain. I expect him to put the team first though, when push comes to shove.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
