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.

I truly hate to say it, but I agree. Dowdle is not signing back her next year, especially after how Canales and Co. have handled his hot hand. 

I don't believe we're going very far this year...so it's not a decision I want us to make but thinking ahead for the future, if we could get something for him it might be better for the future of the team. Unless there is another option where we restructure/trade Chuba which I'm guessing is unlikely.

I want to emphasize, I'm a huge fan of his this season. But as an organization you have to look beyond that.


(Also keep in mind we have 2nd round pick J. Brooks waiting in the wings, whatever that means to you.)

This.  We are in a perfect situation to do this-- he's shown he can be a complete game-changer, but doesn't have a lot of wear and tear because we are running Chuba also.

May be a case of playing chess while others are playing checkers!

Absolutely, or at least that's what a competent franchise would TRY to do. Neither RB can get going with this rotation BS, so send Dowdle off since he's been the hottest lately. There are a lot of RB needy teams with playoff aspirations that I could see throwing maybe a 3rd or 4th our way for Dowdle (Commanders, Texans, Chiefs, Chargers, Patriots, etc.) If you aren't going to use him anyway, might as well trade him while his value is at its highest.

No competent teams would play their best players. 

Buffalo sure could of helped us out by rotating drives with Cook today.

Instead they just kept feeding him until the Panthers will broke. 

That's what competent teams do.

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. 

That makes no sense...

Rico is the only offensive player producing for this team. He's not the one that needs to be traded.

I know this is an emotional time coming off a bad loss. But, think about what we could turn that 4th (possibly/hopefully) round pick into this spring. We could land a slow linebacker with little game awareness. Or we could select a raw pass rusher that never produced results in college, but had great metrics at the combine. Just think of the possibilities!

How about we not try to fix what wasn't broken?

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
