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?

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
