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.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
