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?

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

This is the David Tepper Panthers, and marks must be made. Besides, we are only a player or 2 away. Max.

Thinking like that is why we are where we are today.

Like the deal we made to get Henderson from the Jags.

Just one of many.

It's what we do.

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. 

[mrBdawg]

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 can't resign him because of Hubbard and Brooks so if a good offer comes along might be in the best interest for the side long term
