Why hasn't DC's suspected change on the RBs been highlighted here?

It has nothing to do with that though.   Chubba was a really good player for us.  If they had kept it 70/30 rico, it was still something they would have to figure out in a few weeks to decide what the future was going to be for Rico.  I don't think they planned on Rico outplaying Chubba so much when he got back.   Especially considering the run defenses Rico had went against.

8 YPC vs 2.5 YPC. 

Doesn't matter if Chuba was a good player in the past for us or not. 8 YPC is sustaining drives and exhausting a defense. 500 yards of offense by a RB in 2 weeks hadn't been done by anyone in 14 years. You ride that hot hand regardless of feelings. It's not a slight to Chuba. Guys get hot and when they do, you let them burn. If it had been Chuba over Rico we would be saying the same thing. Let the guys playing the best football play.

I like Chuba as a person. However when we signed him to that extension I said it was a risk because he had his best statistical season while we have invested over the last 2 seasons what is now a league leading amount of money in the offensive line and it's only going to increase with us needing to sign our left tackle to an upcoming extension. We cannot afford all this. Our defense is already amongst one of the lowest invested groups in the league and we expect them to shoulder the burden.

As far as Chuba over Rico let's just call it what it is. Our franchise making decisions based on what we've invested in a player instead of doing what's best for the team. We've already been doing this with Bryce Young and we again have one of the league's worst QB rooms. It cannot continue. How many blowout losses can we witness before things like this finally click? Either we begin operating like a serious franchise or we will look up and reach the milestone of being a cellar dweller for 10 consecutive years.

Canales talks exactly like narcissists talk because they can’t understand how their actions impact other people negatively. They’re describing what they think they should be feeling or saying instead of actually experiencing it. 

if you’ve ever dated one you know exactly what I mean and it’s off putting if you’ve gone through it. 

im sure his apology to Izzy sounded like “I never thought you’d be so upset by me masturbating with Brad Idzik during a film session. Again. I thought we had moved past that. In the future, you need to make your displeasure more clear.”

Look at the bright side.  We'll luck into a QB after Bryce gets an extension.

Narcissist now there's a word that gets thrown around online to much these days

I think Chubba has been here for years, he has always been first in last out, a great locker room guy, and allegedly epitomizes everything you want in a Panther.  I dont think its crazy to try to give him 2 extra starts to save his spot.  Especially when the new guy wasn't on the team last year and is on a 1 year deal.

It's not like we want Chuba outright benched. Hell, we can call him the "starter" and give him the first carry of the game.

That being said, you are setting a bad example in the locker room when good play isn't rewarded. Everyone in Carolina (fans, coaches, players) knows that Rico has the hot hand and you need to feed him the rock. There is no reason for Rico to be on the field 1/4 of the snaps when he is running it for like 6 yards a carry this year

When a coach changes his mind from one presser to another in a short time span im just summizing that a hands on owner made a call. 

He said in the presser after the game he was gonna look at it. It being the RB arrangement.

We had an opportunity to beat Buffalo if we had let Rico exhaust their defense at 8YPC instead of staying fresh at Chuba's 2.5YPC, giving them plenty of energy to plaster Dalton. Poor game planning and recognition by DC. Not saying we would have won, but we certainly could have negated some of the rest that bye week had provided. Our defense certainly looked gassed chasing Cook all over the field 10 yards at a time. 

So you’re saying we could have had our best RB tee off on them instead of gifting them the opportunity for their RB to run roughshod on us? Sorcery!

They also tend to be completely pathological liars/sociopaths. 

Dating one will make you age in dog years.
