If they trade Dowdle…

[hepcat]

I swear I’ve seen the writing on the wall since Chuba come back that Dowdle is going to be traded. He is flat out a harder and faster runner than Hubbard and made the offense move better than Chuba, gained more yards per carry and willed the Panthers to victory with two massive performances. But for some inane reason, the coaching staff hasn’t let Dowdle continue his hot streak. There have been trade rumors and I feel like if the Panthers get a mid round pick in return the Panthers will take it. They drafted Etienne and Hubbard is on a big contract. It makes no sense, he’s looked better than any other Panthers player on the offense this year, but he’s not getting playing time with Hubbard back and it seems he’s being shopped for trade. 

This team is just infuriating sometimes and it’s no secret why every year they seem to struggle.

I think they will trade him for a wr, since Young doesn't have any weapons.

[toldozer]

They aren't trading him unless it's for a 3rd or higher

I don’t think they will trade Dowdle. They will just let him go somewhere else at the end of the season. I think in Canales’ brain he’s trying to save them both from wear in case one gets hurt. Morgan isn’t pounding the table because he don’t want to answer for paying Chuba last year.

Bro we’re gonna need to trade for someone’s 8th string offensive lineman after these injuries.

The best weapon Young needs is a running game.

Allen didnt even have to do much today because of Cook, should have been our gameplan but our star back got 8 carries.

Nah, they will raid a practice squad or sign dummies off the street for replacement linemen.

I doubt they trade him but he will likely sign with another (better) team after this season.

 trading him makes perfect sense. 

Hes on a 1 year deal for not much money 

panthers aren’t winning anything this year.

It would be just another signal of profound incompetence: a can't see the forest for the trees type of thing. But, then again, that's what happens when you can't see the forest for the trees. There was really no need to pay Chuba all that money when backs like Dowdle were on the market in the first place. I've always said that Chuba is better than many thought, but his specialty (if you will) is taking what the defense gives you, it was never really about being dynamic enough to be paid a big contract. We overpaid him in my opinion.

Nor the future the way this organization is ran.

in fairness to the front office, and god knows I have skewered them, Chubbas deal at the time was simply window dressing about paying your players and its relatively easy to get out from under,  I suspect this is the brandt effect

That’s why you never pay RBs.
