Would be cool if Canales uses Brooks and Chubba like how Detroit runs their offense through Gibbs and Montgomery. 

Im not an expert by any means on the type of running backs gibbs/mont are vs chuba/brooks, but i don’t think either has the speed gibbs has. Mont is also bigger in size (weight) i believe. Meaning i don’t think we have the same style backs as their two headed monster. I could be all wrong here in saying that.

still a LONG time since he has played football.  None at NFL speed.  I still wouldn't rush him into a NFL pounding.  I'd probably prefer him see a couple full weeks of practice first. 

This. It's not like we've got anything to gain by rushing him onto the field.

Agreed. More-so in a sense of really running/pounding the ball with two quality backs to wear down opposing defenses and setting up the pass.

Seems like they are doing that, which is why he is still not playing. I do want to see him.

Gotta make sure he isn't glass ahead of next season and really even the trade deadline.  For him, gotta have him get hit and hopefully see that his repaired knee is right so he can play freely without fear. 

Packages. Get him in a couple.

I mean, we’re talking about a running back. Not a linebacker, QB, corner…

Sure his conditioning will take time to catch up and his body will have to get used to being walloped over and over, but from a skill standpoint I imagine running backs are the easiest to plug and play. 
 

don’t be surprised if and when he comes in that he has plenty of juice and speed that’ll be really promising

I have had him sitting in my Fantasy Football IR slot all season. Doubt it was worth it, but I am a homer. 

Me too. Luckily, haven’t needed it for anyone else yet. Figured what the heck since Hubbard was looking decent. I’ll likely never start him as RB is my strength unless he looks like Hubbard on steroids.

He'll have to be activated to the 53 so it will start with small drips.  No doubt they should be careful, but that's why he's nearing ready now and not at the start of season (the timeline that Brooks' team and himself thought was best case scenario)

Sooo next year then?

I'd give him some weeks in real NFL practice.  Getting used to things/speed/etc and back in the feel of football.  

I'd probably prefer to trot him out after the bye week (pending the rest of the RB is healthy) .  That would still be 7 games and near half a season of play.  In such a pointless season, I hate to not take your time to setup him for success.

I was thinking post bye week too but maybe they dip his toe in the water first to get a little taste.

      Exactly the type of thing he would have done here. The excuse people were stannin’ so hard claiming he would have looked just as bad. Just not true.

      It's not just the Panthers... the NFL sucks at developing young QBs "it's a systemic problem"

      By Panthers Rhule · Posted

      Yes and there aren't 32 starting QBs in the league either. Too many teams and too many games. The NFL has regressed over the years and game quality is lacking. The other leagues are supposed to be farm leagues but it doesn't matter. You just won't have 32 no matter what they do. The move to super athletes playing QB at all levels has lead to this. It used to be those guys played other positions but now they are QBs who can't really QB.  It has a trickle down effect too. OL can't block because they never had to. The fact that in today's game your QB must be able to run at least a little to survive is evidence of this as well. IMO they have ruined the game same as with the NBA. It's been simplified to the point of being boring.  Just look at the top 10 this season. Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs) Joe Burrow (Bengals) Josh Allen (Bills) Lamar Jackson (Ravens) Dak Prescott (Cowboys) Jalen Hurts (Eagles) Brock Purdy (49ers) Jordan Love (Packers) Justin Herbert (Chargers) Matthew Stafford (Rams) Once we get to number 5 the stats look like this: 167 262 1,845 63.7 7.0 10 8 65 18 84.5   47.5   10 TDs and 8 INTs??? At number 5??? There was a time not that long ago that he wouldn't even be a starter.

      I'm not convinced that the NFL is any better or worse at developing QBs now than they were 20 years ago.  I mean I'm sure there are some developmental issues at play, just not sure it is any different than it has been. The biggest difference IMO is that NFL teams are waaaaaaaay more willing to invest a 1st round pick into a QB now than they were 15-20 years ago.  A guy like Colin Kaepernick would probably be a top 5 pick in 2025, whereas he went in the 2nd in 2011.  Would a guy like Trey Lance go top 3 in 2010?  Hell no.  Look at Russell Wilson - he didn't go until the 3rd round.  The standard for being a 1st round QB has dropped. So it may seem like we're seeing more high-profile busts at the position, but we're also seeing teams reach for QBs way more than they have in the past.  Someone with Anthony Richardson's college resume doesn't go in the top 3 20 years ago.
