Fact of the matter is he will demand $ and contact after the year. We already paid Hubbard. I don’t like it either but it’s the best option.

If he does let him walk. Its the chance you take to win games. If he gets a big contract elsewhere then there's a chance we get a compensatory pick later. I really don't care about day 3 picks, especially anything after the 5th round. We seem to do better with udfa's anyway.

That is a good point. We will get something if he signs elsewhere and if we can keep him producing he surely will get some offers. Might be at the top of the FA pool for RBs

Its better for us and Rico if he balls out. Feed him the rock and see where he can take this thing.

We had a winning record for the first time in a LONG TIME and we are open to trading the player that got us there.....

Because he isn’t signed for next year and we won’t have him then. We are talking 9 games, and do you really think we will have a winning record if he stays? 
That is a hard sell to me. 
 

edit: but I would lean towards keeping him with the compensatory pick swaying the argument.

Many things about this can be true. 

Is dowdle our best rb this year? Yes

Are we winning the superbowl this year? No

Are we signing another rb to another contract? No

Is dowdles value at its highest? Yes

Should we base bryces performance on the exploits of a back up rb? No

No one is taking Hubbard and his contract. Remember we traded a 5th for a legit young qb in baker. Getting a 5th or 4th for a couple games of our back up rb ( who is performing better than the starter) is a coup. 

You gotta know when to hold em and when to fold em. We ain't winning the championship this year. Time to pick up more assets for next year

Meh

I felt Rico was a better, more powerful runner with burst more than Chubba even before he got those starts and he has proven he is.  If the Panthers were to trade a RB the better move would be to trade Chubba and sign Rico to longer term contract so he's not lost in free agency.

      Isaiah Simmons: "A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma"

      By Basbear · Posted

      Reveal- Until three weeks before his draft, I wanted Simmons >> Brown. I hate to say I didn't see his greatest flaw the first time, upon reviewing more clips and lucky listening to better scout. Simmons was shown not to enjoy contact/hitting. WHich is crazy given he played a joker type of LB and had tons of tacks and big plays. But it was there hidden in the slow mo and people that played the game, he didn't enjoy hitting. Given that's a huge part of defenders job, I dropped him from want/need list and lucky for everyone dbrown was there to be picked.  Seems he's found a role or lane he's comfy in and willing to do and it does fit him once you disregard his draft status. Who knows, he maybe the NB for evero this year. He can still become a legit starter.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Joly has the one thing our current TE groups does not, really, really good hands.  Tremble has gotten better at catching, but will never have 'natural' hands.  Evans is a blocking TE that has okay hands. A passing game threat is what we thought we were getting when drafting Sanders, but have found out otherwise.  With all the TEs we have drafted over the recent years, none of them have been considered a true weapon.  That needs to change. Blocking TEs are a dime a dozen and can be had on the cheap.  The miscalculation of the front office, folly if you will, is the idea of the Swiss Army knife TE, the guy that can do everything.  It takes a real gem to find a TE that does everything and do it well, so our jack of all trades ends up elite at nothing especially the one area where we (the fans) think the weak link is--a receiving threat.
