What's the best way to split RB carries?

[Castavar]

Start Rico. Don't take him off the field until he asks to come off. Let Chuba spell him until Rico catches his breath then put him back out there.

It would be kind of cool to see Chuba pound the opposition for the majority of the first half then have Rico come in fresh and amped up in the second half.

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.

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.

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.....

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...

Keep feeding Rico until he cools off and then play Chuba

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'd honestly make Chuba our short-yard/goal line RB and let Rico bring our primary back.

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.
