Rico Dowdle sounds like he’s gone


Recommended Posts

2 things can be true, he was under utilized too much after chuba returned, too many games where we either abandoned the run or fail to ride the hot hand wether that was chuba or Rico

and we need to spend resources on defense instead of tying up more money into the offense 

I would not put much stock into brooks nor etinne

Yeah, the folks that think Brooks is going to show up be the player they saw at Texas is just wishful thinking. The truth is he may never play meaningful and impactful snaps at this level. You just can't assume anything based on those injuries.

I’ll be honest, Hubbard isn’t really good at this point either.   Brooks has been hurt for 2 years and you can’t really count on him as being anything.  

Backfield is going to need some juice and an addition. 

Hubbard isn't the problem, if anything it's a lack of a legit passing game. Jonathan Brooks fell way off when Danny Dimes got hurt. When teams just continually stack the box, or simply have stout lines, you can't expect RBs to go off. 

All that being said, I wouldn't paid Chuba like that either because I see him as more average than anything special. Just another Morgan contract that looked sketchy at the time that have turned out to be relatively bad.

I wouldn’t call him a problem, but Hubbard at this stage isn’t really that good.   Really just a dude that should be part of a committee.  

Since the day we drafted Bryce, I’ve said he needs a real legit receiving RB.

He is directly responsible for 2 wins at least. That said, best of luck to you, sir.

He was almost responsible for at least 2 losses. We stuck with the run because we kept waiting for him to live up to his former promise. Didn't happen.

    • 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. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • 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.
