No brainer move.

let him walk and get a potential comp pick

The no brainer move would have been trading him mid season after those couple big games.

Because we're not getting a comp pick for him, nobody is signing him to a big enough deal to warrant a comp pick coming back our way, especially as we'll have some cap space to spend ourselves, so any signing we make would more than counter act the contract he'd be signing with someone.

He's also going to be 28.  At RB, that's like 33 for other spots.

We also have an out with Hubbard's contract which I honestly think we should take off our hands as well.

As far as I'm concerned, given the way we like to play offense, RB, OT and a WR3 are the offensive needs right now.

Hes going to want a 3 year deal from someone. I hate that it cant be us realistically but our strategy is clear. 

 

We will spend money on the offensive line and plug and play mid tier free agents at RB  and build through the draft. 

Thats the way to go to be honest. Defense defense defense is the key now.

Hindsight would say to trade him of course . But at the time we were all saying ride him straight into the playoffs before he got banged up.

 

Its hard to be upset with them for not making that move.

I hope he gets a bag in free agency, just not from us. 
 

he did exactly what he should have with us. Balled out in a contract year and helped us win some games. 
 

I hope he’s rewarded for it but you just can’t pay two running backs in this league that kind of money unless they are game breakers.

If we don't resign him (which I get if we don't), we will either need to draft one or sign another free agent RB.

Etienne is clearly a bust and Brooks is probably a lost cause 

clearly??? has etienne even played enough to determine that?

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
