Thank you Matt Rhule's wife...

I didn't put "BREAKING" in the title.  Just saying the man has been a bright spot on the team and produced.  Hope he gets us a pick or gets paid.  His game winning TD run today brought me a lot of joy that has been hard to come by in Panther land.

Great game Chuba!  Thank you and keep pounding!

Eh, he's still a RB2.  If he wants to re-sign on the cheap, sure, we can keep Hubbard around.  We had better not break the bank for a backup RB.

would love to keep him on a team friendly contract since he is a solid and reliable player but this is Chuba's only "big" payday as a RB this upcoming offseason

I'm sure another team will be willing to offer him a big payday

I'm hoping we trade him, as it doesn't make much sense to re-sign him, Brooks is going to be a 3 down back for us next year.

In FA we can find a big bruiser to be his backup and possible short yardage back to take some pounding off Brooks, but if we expect him to pan out, there is no reason to give a FA contract to an RB who is earning a halfway decent pay day next year with his play so far this year.

We are going to have the money to spend in FA that we're not going to get any comp pics back for anyone who leaves anyways, Hubbard, Clowney, and Thielen all should be moved.

Hubbard is big runs or bust runs. Can't get the 1st downs in short yardage situations. Can't be a consistent 3rd down back in the flat. Considering the run blocking OL he has, he's not as good as he looks from just his highlight runs. My hope is that he makes a good change up back to Brooks.

He busts his butt. Is great to watch. 

Can bring that up without mentioning Rhule. 

 

 Either way. Good player

 

I will get with the OP's people and make sure he runs all posts by you next time for approval before posting if that works sir

No, he's not -- he's a top-15 RB based on his vision, speed, blocking ability and catching ability. Not saying to re-sign Chuba to a backbreaking deal, but don't let him walk if he can be had for pennies on the dollar.

He's not giving us a discount. He would be foolish to do so. We either meet his demands or we draft a late round replacement and move on. I love Chubba but business is business.

Completely wrong. He's averaging 5ypc, if you take out his longest run this season, he's averaging 4.8ypc. He consistently gets at least 3-5 yards. He averages 1.9 yards after contact which is the same as Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson and better than Saquon Barkley, Breece Hall, Joe Mixon, and Jonathan Taylor to name a few (among RBs with at least 100 carries this season). He's only been tackled for a loss on 7 of his 133 carries (5.2%) He's not a big play back with only 20 runs of 10+ yards. He's as consistent as it gets.

    • Best to see Icky in the position we drafted him in to see if he continues making progress. All signs point to Canales/Morgan staying on board and so decisions on whether to move him elsewhere on the line will probably be done during the offseason. Personally, I'm more concerned about a more long-term answer at safety and Moton's spot. Love the guy but he's a FA after 2026 and he'll be 32 by then. Kinda has that sign of having to let a player walk one year too early.
    • All I am saying is IMO if we were going to rework or extend his deal I think it would have happened by now.   Just feels like they are going to bite the bullet and let it run its course
    • I mean me speaking honestly per normal- RT is not even on my radar for needing fixing....it sorta should be, but I feel its around 20s in "hey this need attention". Motown could have another 5 years of solid play leftd in his body and mind. I know something needs to done with his contract, its had money pushed back into the late years like three times now. He got like a 38 million cap number cause rhule, frittterererer and this past season Dan deferred money.  I think he's been "healthy" for most of his career and seems to work hard at being able to play. He's a good player to have on the team. I got no idea how this plays out.   We need to have friendly bet about Christs next contract- I say he gets 8million per and 40% guaranteed. If he gets below that, you are the true kungfu master- deal?
