I'm kinda suprised no one has mentioned trying to pick him up. Looks like the Vikes will take a 6th rounder for him. I think we have more pressing needs right now, but he could potentially be a qb of the future. If we do get him we could drop McCown to make a spot for him. What do you guys think? Would you give up a 6th rounder for him. I would. He was gonna be the starting qb for a super bowl contender this year. Alot of Vikings still want him as the starter. Just sayin, a 6th rounder?

I think the cost has come down significantly though. We may have just given a sixth rounder for a career long backup DT.

But why bring in someone just to do it. I know everyone is in love with the mobile inaccuarate QB, but that dosen't fit into our system. With the offense we run we wouldn't utilize him and he's not that great of a player to make us change our offense.

As for giving up a potential 6th rnder for a career backup that was a need, we had to do something to add another DT and with our position on the waiver wire there is no way we could get anyone of substance without trading.

You do it because it is an upgrade over McCown and Moore. I think he could be a good player here if given the time to learn, he is still young. He was having a very good offseason in Minnesota. I don't think he would be a savior, but an upgrade.

I agree with you about having to get Leonard, or some other DT, but I was justing using that to put this in perspective. Jackson wouldn't be a huge impact on the team this year, unless Delhomme got hurt, but he would be an option in the future without having to give up alot.

Im not in love with Jackson, just wanted to discuss how low of an asking price this is.

      BREAKING:Panthers re-sign Chuba Hubbard

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I honestly didn't like trading up on the 2nd to draft a RB with a torn ACL. That didn't seem like a great move for this roster. But it wouldn't be a bad move if he proved to be a quality starter. But now signing Chuba to starter money on the hells of that? Yeah, that's significant roster building assets tied up in the RB position which has been a hallmark of the Panthers' roster building thought process over the years which has led to zero sustained success on the field.

      But it's not a plug and play like teams were thinking.  Ask the Cowboys and the Bears thinking they were fine letting Montgomery walk.  Ask the Texans who had to trade for Mixon because their backfield held them back.  @Bear Handsbroke down the top running teams in the league and they have a very similar allocated of money/investments in the RB room.  It's a $15 million guaranteed contract over 4 years.  IF we are paying him the full 32 then he is playing very well and earning 8 plus million a year over 4 years.  I don't think we are doing the starter/backup scenario.  Our OC even said he has plays featuring both backs in the backfield.  We are trying to be a RB committee with a RB room that isn't that expensive compared to the league average.  IF Chuba plays to his top potential and we pay out all money he will average between Stevenson and Swift's average salary.

      I'm just reporting it, not getting excited.  That will no doubt go down with new contracts. But because we've been drafting so many busts, there's no one in house to extend lol.  Could be spent on a lot of known resources.
