Hubbard says he might have rushed back

I'd agree.

Even with Hubbard's contract? 

We have an easy out after this season with marginal dead cap. Could be smart given the situation and RB landscape. 

This part isn’t at you—but in general:

None of these guys are world beaters — sure they have been great for us at times but I just hope we don’t get this emotional investment paired with financials. I don’t think we need to teget all antsy about keeping Dowdle when he’ll be 28 next year.

I don’t mind just continuously taking a stab in the late rounds every year on one.  We should not be investing in one guy in particular when they’re not really a game breaker. See: Sanders, Hubbard, etc. 

I’d say heck yes, take a shot at a guy high up if you’re convinced you’ve landed a Gibbs or Taylor level, but otherwise, don’t invest, don’t get emotional about a 3-4 game stretch. Reset and see what type of committee you can construct with fresh legs.

Agree with everything.  But, yeah I'll take the committee over the top draft pick.  The top draft pick RB almost never pans out.  It's early but Ashton Jeanty looks pedestrian.  Bijan Robinson is good, but was he really worth that pick?  Gibbs and Taylor are good but Gibbs is part of a tandem and has Taylor even been on a winning team?

I'm just not sure its a formula that works particularly well.  When the Eagles signed Saquon in FA they already knew that he was that guy at the NFL level.
