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.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
