Well they better sign him to a decent deal or he walks this year, and we get nothing for him. Actually they could get the same for Chuba and let it be known that Dowdle is our #1 back. I like him but I doubt he will be here next year.

we would be fools to give rico a deal, but then again we are the panthers

They might as well trade him.  Canales is being stubborn and not allowing Rico to do his thing.  It's the same reason he left Dallas.  

Someone needs to smack the crap out of Canales and get him to realize Rico is #1 not 1a or 1b. 

I would trade Canales before Rico. One of them is good at their job and one isn’t.

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. 

Canales = neutered

Rico has been an unstoppable force exceeding all expectations.  Hubbard hasn't been all that good this year.

That being said... Hubbard will still be here next year. Dowdle is on a 1 year contract. We can't have 2 highly paid backs and dowdle will get paid. We still have Etienne. Brooks should be back next year. We aren't going to the superbowl this year. Dowdles trade value won't get higher. 

If we can get a mid round pick I say do it.

According to the press conference today it sounds like Rico is going to be the RB1

See, Canales worried about feelings when the players know the deal.
I don’t care that much because we weren’t winning anything this year anyway but it hurt us for two games before figuring out what he was supposed to do in response to Rico being dominant. 
 

Hope he learns something from this. You play the best players.  Not your favorite players.

Why do you need a leadership conference to state the obvious? Can't make a decision in game because we have to hold a conference to decide what's the right move. Come on man.

Canales worried he'll make the wrong move and lose the locker room. 

Imagine being a headcoach in the NFL and need Christian Rozeboom to sign off on your roster moves.

Yeah, I had a feeling it was about Chuba being a Captain. Needed it to be obvious to everybody even Chuba. 
 

Not endorsing it just thinking of the why. It sounds like at least it’s done

The former manager in me wants to think that Canales was allowing Chubba the opportunity to show he is still the lead back when he recovered before making the switch. But I cannot give him that leeway as he's shown too many times he doesn't think that way.

There was really no need to pay Chuba all that money when backs like Dowdle were on the market in the first place.

After we traded down to draft Brooks in the second and then just before we used a fourth rounder to draft Etienne. For every smart roster move, the Panthers have two stupid ones.

So now yet again we’re playing the guy we got for nothing and sitting the guy with the contract.

Hope they finally figure out to not pay a RB.

Just keep collecting them unless you find yourselves a Gibbs or Jacobs. Otherwise, don’t waste dough on the position.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
