Rico Dowdle sounds like he’s gone


Recommended Posts

hasnt been a factor in a VERY long time.  He needs to go because someone is gonna overpay. Sure you can produce in like 4-5 games, but what about when we need ya the most?    If not, you are a jag, and we can fill that "meh" production with guys on the roster, particularly at that position.    Hope Rico has a great career, just wont be here.

Sucks because I think he played good for us (obviously great in the dolphins and cowboys games). But we were never going to give him anything beyond a one-year deal with the contract we gave Chuba.

Still don't understand why we pretty much stopped running the ball off tackle the entire rest of the year after like week 12... I was pissed we didn't do it one time against the Bucs week 18 when the week prior the dolphins did it many times and ran it all over the Bucs D

@Shotgun told us he didn’t really want to stay in Carolina like halfway through the season. He has a family member that knows him of if I remember correctly. 

A friend of mine knows his family and said they told him that Rico didn’t want to be in Carolina. That was at the beginning of the season though. He had some amazing games but I doubt he’ll be here next year.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
