There are always exceptions. But just because an all-time great is an exception doesn't mean you should assume some other guy is going to duplicate it.

Because it makes sense for the Panthers to move a RB this week. Outsiders just aren't as intimately familiar with the Panthers as we are so they would assume we'd do the logical thing and trade the lesser RB with the worse contract. But this is Tepper's Panthers. We know that doing the logical thing is rarely on the table.

It'd be the most Panthers thing ever though to end up trading Rico to the Pats after they call to ask about Chuba assuming we wouldn't want to trade Rico for the same price they were willing to pay for Rico. Conversation like... Hey, we wanted to call to ask about the possible availability of Chuba. Well, maybe what were you thinking? Say... a 4th? Well, we really like Chuba. Not sure we'd take a 4th... what about Rico? A 4th is all we want to part with. Yeah, Rico for a 4th. That's what we're offering. Oh wow! That's WAY better than what we were thin... I mean, yeah I guess we could do that if you insist on not moving Chuba *sound of raucous cheering and bottles popping in the background*

Not opposed to it but I'd want good return.

All good, I'll leave yours

I mean, we still suck either way. Right now, Chuba's performance last season just looks like a massive anomaly. Other than last year Chuba had looked like a decent rotational RB and nothing more.

Your odds of finding your legit starter in free agency is slim. All I want out of free agency is a vet that can legitimately push Bryce and can play if Bryce goes down or falters again and we need to turn the page. Basically just get me an upgrade over the current washed up version of Dalton. That's not a tall ask.

Interesting choice of examples with Philly considering Saquan Barkley is the highest paid RB in the NFL.

Their running game has been virtually non-existent. Drake Maye is 29 yards away from leading them in rushing.

Yeah, especially if Brooks' rehab is going well. I wouldn't want to depend on him for anything beyond promising depth after back to back ACLs but I'd be open to moving Chuba and his contract and giving Rico more snaps.

There aren't 32 legitimate starting caliber QBs in the league. Just like when we were starting Bell and Chandler at OT, did that make them legit "starters"? I mean, technically I guess it did since they were indeed starting but they sure as hell weren't starting caliber players. If you have the 30th best starting QB in the league, you desperately need a starting QB and there's likely backups on other rosters better than your starter just like there were better backup OTs on other rosters than Bell and Chandler.

This. When Bryce falters again we have to have legit options behind him, not just the washed up ghost of Andy Dalton.

Much ado about nothing. Tempers flare in a physical game like football, especially when you take an absolute flogging.

Yeah, I don't want to force anything. Forget going into the draft with the plan to definitely draft a QB in the first. You don't do yourself any favors reaching on need. If the right fit isn't there I'm perfectly fine with adding a developmental guy after the first. We need multiple QBs. We need a starter and we need a backup. There's just not gonna be any energy in this fanbase as long as we keep trotting Bryce out there pretending that he's a starting QB. There will start to be hope again as soon as it's clear that we're turning the page on the whole Bryce thing.

Gotta sign a decent FA and add another one in the draft. Don't force anything but if the right guy is there in the 1st don't hesitate. Bryce ain't it.

I guess they didn't get the message.

Better call Luigi.

Got your excuses loaded? LOL

Id rather watch Rico run the wildcat than another game with Bryce or Dalton playing QB.

Literally everything you just typed is completely incorrect. Shingles can only effect people who have previously had chicken pox because it's caused by the same virus that lies dormant in your system and can be reactivated later in life. The chicken pox vaccine wasn't available in the U.S. until 1995 and wasn't available anywhere until 1988 so no one was vaccinated for chicken pox in the 1960s. The shingles vaccine wasn't available until 2006.

Maybe Tepper just needs a good massage.

Yeah, as a Heels fan I love it for Drake but dammit... LOL

Damn. The Pats leading the pack with an elite QB on a rookie contract and a 6-2 record? Must be nice.
