I don’t expect Hubbard to eclipse his play from last year. Glad he got paid. Hopefully he can stay healthy and dependable. You always need someone waiting in the wings. -
Kind of bizarre Hubbard is already on the cusp of surpassing McCaffrey considering how comically overused he was at times here. As much as I'd like to see Hubbard get over 4k this season the priority should be offensive versatility. We have a nice RB room and it's a long season. Spread the ball around. -

Thought this is pretty interesting - time can be a tricky one - it's crazy to really see the all-time Panthers rushing list. You don't expect much in a 30ish year history (not saying this is impressive), but Chuba has quietly working his way up. 1) 7,318 yards - J Stew 2) 6,846 yards - DeAngelo Williams 3) 5,036 - Cam Newton this is where it gets interesting: 4) 3,980 - CMC 5) 3,336 - Deshaun Foster *6) 3,175 - Chuba Hubbard If Chuba has a healthy season, we should expect him to easily climb into #4 on the all-time Panthers list. I don't know for others, but Foster & CMC seemed like they were here longer than they were (or maybe they just played in more impressionable seasons and injury stints made the playing time seem longer). I know it's not some impressive history or anything but a fun thing to note. Also, if we make strides as a team, and he follows up with another strong year, he's probably got 2-3 more in him as he turns 26 next week. Some questions: Does another solid year cement him as our guy at RB? I prefer to keep taking late round stabs as you can cycle RBs, but he could prove to be a top RB this year. I expect Rico & Etienne to help spell him, but he's our RB1 no doubt. If we flirt with our first playoff berth in years, could a top-10 RB type season put him on the map as a more revered Panther? He will be touching the ball the second most after Bryce this season, so it's not unrealistic to view him as our top skill position player (pending McMillan's hopeful rise as WR1). It would be fun to see this actualize and make his mark more widely in the league. Overall, just adding some perspective. When you think of eras of Panthers teams, you usually think of a few guys. And if we can finally crawl back to relevance, maybe Chuba is a guy we think of helped us get out of the rut rather than just being one of many that lived here in the cellar.
