Rico Dowdle sounds like he’s gone

His production dropped off after he won the job. He padded his stats against some bad defenses and I think Chuba was hurt to start the season which impacted him early.

Let him go. Draft another RB in the middle to late rounds to mix in with Hubbard, Brooks, Etienne 

Or see if we can get a deal on a young FA. Breece Hall, Tyler Allgeier, Pacheco, Sean Tucker, Javonte Williams, Jerome Ford, and a bunch of others are all free agents this year.

I really hate it when he has an attitude like we did him dirty or something. He was given an opportunity, he made himself some money and we had a great season. His performance dwindled down the stretch and anyone with two eyes could see it. It comes across very me centered rather than being a team player. Chubba never complained once throughout the season.

I like the guy but sorry, what team is going to sign him and give him more carries than what he probably would have here? If Chuba gets hurt then he’s getting those reps. Personally I think Etienne will be a solid back up for us who could end up being a starter. He’s a solid player all around. We still have Brooks too who still has a chance of being a good Rb despite injuries. We’ve seen players come back from worse. The odds might be low but there’s still a chance. If our offensive line is good then  having a good RB isn’t a big deal. Honestly I would just use the money on another position. I’m fine with Chuba, Etienne and brooks. We can always draft a rb in later rounds or UDFA. It’s an easy position to fill.

I like Rico, but there was a clear drop off after Chuba healed up.  It wasn’t that he wasn’t producing anymore bc he wasn’t getting the carries, bc several games down the stretch I kept asking myself, “why is Rico in there when he looks slow and banged up?” and Canales kept giving him the ball at expense of Chuba’s carries.  He wasn’t never the same after he was on the injury report.  The big rushing games he had, you could see he had the juice from the first touch.  That juice wasn’t there anymore down the stretch, so making him the featured back getting the bulk of the carries wouldn’t have made his production any better.  I like him but we have Chuba and two young guys in Etienne, who always looks explosive (but please get him off punt returns lol), and Brooks coming back, so best of luck Rico.

It’s a really good free agent class for running backs this year so good luck to Rico. I hope we can replace him with Isaiah Pacheco.

There are some really good options that are on the FA list at the moment. I wouldn't mind getting Algiers as a change-up bruiser. Gainwell is also on the list and has value in the passing game as well.

Give me Tyler Allegeier, he’s money in short yardage and has no fumbles in four years (737 touches). I don’t think his cost would be too high.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
