If I had to guess, I’d say we are trying to copy the Lions with Gibbs and extending Mont. We are at a different stage of the roster building though. 

Yeah we actually have a decent offense.

 

I think it's clear we need a QB and we need to fix the defense. I wouldn't be mad at a all defensive draft tbh.

 

Sign Fields to a reasonable short term contract. Go from there.

You'd think that Panthers fans of all people would understand the value of having two starting caliber RBs on the roster.

So we wasted a 2nd Rd pick on a RB to backup Chubba moving forward?

 

Why us?

Backup?

the days of using 1 bell-cow RB are long gone.

See Detroit 

See Miami

See GreenBay 

Seattle when Canales was there took Walker 41st overall, then took another RB 52nd overall the next draft after drafting a RB in the 4th 2 years prior

I’m not mad at it.  8 mil a year for the guy leading our entire offense in production?  I’ll take it.

Plus the kid has worked his tail off to get to this point.  Cheers to Chuba.  Now, young man, go lead this team.

Bad decision. Chubba has played well, but his position is not one you keep investing as highly in as the Panthers do, especially when the roster is in the shape it's in and the playcaller prefers passing like he does. This franchise always does poo assbackwards.

[KillaCamNewton]

Hes been a top 5 back this year its hard to be mad keeping him locked down

[LinvilleGorge]

We are the dumbest fuging team in the league. We just traded up to draft a RB in the 2nd round and now we're paying a guy we should be letting walk. Just amazing ineptitude. It is no accident that we have become perennial cellar dwellers. We've worked hard to earn it.

[Eazy-E]

In a vacuum good for Chuba he earned it. 
 

In reality this just doesn’t make sense when you just spent a second round pick on the first RB selected in the draft. Selecting a RB that high and not expecting him to eventually be your starter is just bad management.

He’s the 9th highest paid RB in the league and he’s been playing like a top 5 RB

Bro those teams have talent.

 

Are you telling me a 2RB system is going to lead to more wins then now you talking.

 

Hopefully the rookie is the real deal if not we going to look real stupid selecting a RB in the 2nd Rd. He should be the best rookie RB the moment he steps on the field. We drafted him as such.

A guy suddenly having a career year in contract year only to revert back to his norm after getting paid is a tale as old as professional sports. Don't be surprised if it happens again.

He’s a young, high performing leader on the team. That’s the type of player you should invest in.

Yeah we need any kind of consistency for a good long while
