If they trade Dowdle…

Turn that frown upside down. Lots of football to play. Panthers are 4-4! They could run the table and get on an even bigger win streak than they were on.

You think that is a realistic possibility? Do we even have an OL any more?

I think you owe it to him and  the franchise too to trade him somewhere that will use him. 

Or use him and trade Chuba for much less return. 
 

I kind of wish Morgan would pull a Billy Bean and trade Chuba so Canales has to play Rico. 
I know that won’t happen just saying something needs to.

I don’t really know what happened but Chuba looks awful this year. He ran with a lot more aggression and decisiveness last year. He’s looked sluggish, even pre injury.

What Canales is doing is coaching malpractice. I do not care you paid Chuba 8 mil a year. You play the best players, period. Especially after Rico came in and absolutely dominated. And has continued to look not just better, but look like the FAR better player.

You play the damn game to win. You don’t find a player like Rico and trade them for nothing. Playing the damn draft pick trading card game has destroyed this team.

We aren't going anywhere, so I would have no problem with trading Rico away. I doubt we sign.him long-term after this year since we already have Chuba locked up, so might as well see if a team will toss us a 4th or 5th for him.

I'm honestly kind of surprised he hasn't demanded a trade yet with how little our coaching staff wants him on the field

I can only imagine how much dead cap we would take on if we traded Chuba...

ive loved what Rico has done. But if we are going to do him like we are doing him, trade him while his stock is high.  Dont let him walk. You are losing assets if you dont.

Yes as much I believe this is a move retarded franchises make, it may be best for all involved. 

Dowdle is clearly the best back on the team and they are clearly invested in Chuba and trying to pretend we have some sort of two-headed monster rushing attack (we don't).

Get something out of the deal instead of letting him walk.

And then I can know you're not actually trying to compete this season and find other things to do on my Sundays.

Chuba’s contract does not tie us down to him.  His cap hit is 8 mil. If we have to eat that and send him somewhere else and pay Rico that money, we do it. That 8 million is not going to make a big impact somewhere else on the roster. We know it will make a big impact being spent on Rico.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
