Those who know me well enough, know I love the run game.
Chubba was never an elite talent. Although he has HOF effort and leadership. That's what got him paid when this team didn't have a better answer on the roster.
I doubt the team has given up on Brooks.
I love Rico's running style. Fast, elusive, great vision, balance, and a tough SOB.
His running style will never lead to a long career in the NFL.
I do feel the Panthers should absolutely try to extend him. No more than 2 or 3 seasons, and nothing that breaks the bank.
If he doesn't sign, ya move on and find another RB.
