You refuse to realize that a 2nd round running back has less chance of busting than a 5th rounder. 

This the first RB off the board has a very low chance of being a bust....

 

You could spend take 10+ shots at late round/UDFA backs and not hit and even if they do they aren't likely to be dynamic just solid.

Rb was a hole, even though everyone here was sucking off Chuba.

Chuba is a solid complimentary back. Not a guy who can handle the load an entire season.

Im excited about this. 

Its all about offence this year. LETS F******* GOOOOOOO

[panthers55]

We wanted him because he was the highest rated RB in the draft. We knew he wouldn't be there at 52 so they moved up to get him. Morgan said it would be BPA and that is what he was. That is how you fill your team with the best athletes. I hear he would be ready to practice in training camp but I am sure they will bring him along carefully.

Posters are acting like the NFL is littered with late rd work horse RBs....

Kyron Williams (UDFA) took a full off-season and still has a bit of an injury history

Pacheco (6th or 7th?) is in the best offense with arguably the best offense coach in NFL history

Jerome Ford (5th) Browns beast oline and again took a yr for him to compete as RB1 and even then they had to sign Hunt mid season when Chubb went down so he ain't a RB1

other than that what late rd baller RBs are people talking about here????

So who in the fugging hell is our RB1?

- The guy picked 46 overall?

- The guy with the heaviest contract? (Sanders)

-The guy who’s been our best recent performer? (Hubbard) 

Why does it matter right now?

Both play also play in offenses that are pass happy they aren't facing stacked boxes either...

One has PM at QB the other has the NFLs best WR duo.

It’s crazy how out of control the RB narrative has gotten. Yes RB is not as important as the past and yes a 2nd round RB most likely is much better than a 5th round RB. Both can be and are true. 
 

A 4th round RB gets you…. Chubba Hubbard. Come on now, he’s a good dude and good second RB but he isn’t moving the needle for any team.

The point is that workhorse backs are no longer a thing in the NFL. Loads are split and risks are hedged accordingly since each team carries a number of backs that all play.

That said, it is certainly better to have good backs than bad. I know nothing about this player and do feel Carolina has bigger needs but perhaps he truly is BPA.

LOL

Traded #39 for #52 (still a second) AND the Rams second next season.

Traded back up to #46 

 

We always kept a second rounder....

Thats the whole point there really isnt any RB on the planet earth that is really moving the needle for any team. 

We had the best RB in football for a couple seasons and still only managed 5 wins. 

You either have a QB or you have nothing.
