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.

    • An interesting wrinkle to catchable balls.. Bryce has in fact jumped to #2 in deep-ball catchable rate, but is still #31 overall in pressure catchable ball rate, #23 in clean pocket catchable ball rate, and #32 in blitzed catchable ball rate. No matter the depth of field.  Overall.  #28 in clean pocket completion %. McMillan is also low as he's ranked #73 in rankable receivers in overall catchable balls...and he takes up a 26% team target share.  Now here's the interesting note - McMillan's target share jumps crazy to 51.6% of our deep balls  (Where Bryce's rate boosts to #2).  It's telling me they do have a bit of a connection developing for the deeper throws.  That seems just like a mutually beneficial situation happening.  Good.   Next step is you look at the volume, and yep, he's throwing likes a half of the classified deep balls as others.  Sooooo...a stretch of deep completions bumps him up more impact-fully than others.  Not discounting anything, there's progress, improvement on the deep ball, just good to know that context.  Buuuut as noted, Bryce's rate is consistently still league floor for everything except deep ball where McMillan has over half the team targets.  So he's improved with Tmac, which has bumped up his deep ball game.  There's till big issues is his intermediate game and play outside against zone defense - that's the same/has never improved, always around #25-32 since year 1.   So time to maintain the deep rhythm and keep proving more people wrong.  Would be fun to see improvement and more wins.         
    • He's going to get more and more beat up until he's out. He's playing hurt
    • Maybe by now he’s learned a bit to not meddle but he absolutely was not an average owner in the pre draft process with Bryce. He and Nicole were wayyy too hands on and meddling more than anyone except Jerry jones
