You do when you’re trying to establish a culture. When you tell the media that you wanna a team full of dogs, you have to pay those dogs for their work hard

We are trying to create a winning culture by doing things that winning teams don't do? I am not mad at the extension. It's just not the move I would have made.

My rule (but nobody listens!!) is to never give a second contract to a RB--this one is decent.  Always remember, contracts are not rewards--they are for expected future performance, everyone!  On offense, with Brooks, Chuba could earn this contract--so I will hold my breath.  I also think we have all the pieces in place--except a QB==on offense.

It's a culture move investing in a football player, not a running back (Even though, yes, he is a running back, but chuba the football player earned a payday).

Not bad and we got it done before FA started. Brooks could very well end up being good and at the same time end up being a bust because of injury history.  

Chuba has displayed special qualities for a RB do that's atleast worth resigning.

Sanders is gone next season. You draft a mid to late rounder to be your back up like every other successful franchise does.

If Brooks pans out Chuba just becomes Miles Sanders part 2.

Ok Sanders is gone Brooks goes down and the draft pick SUCKS what do you do?? People just assume draft picks are gonna be good lol. We've let EVERY good player we've had go assuming we can replace them. It just doesn't work like that that's why we are talent deficient now!!

One of the reasons people devalue the position is you can find RBs fairly easily. With a good OL it gets easier too. 

I want a banger bruiser type in the mix too lol.

That's like saying Rhule drafted a football player, not a long snapper (joke).

Position does have to play a role in this. I just don't think its a move we should have made. Is it a culture move? Sure I'll agree on that. Was it the right move? I guess we will have to watch it play out and see.

Yea people think you can find GOOD running backs easy when that's not the case lol. You see Dallas fans crying for a rb Cincinnati let theirs walk now they had to trade for one, the Giants let theirs walk and you see what that looks like.

Well Dallas basically said fug RB after we drafted brooks. Not sure if they are a good example. They could've used a late round pick. Some of those late round RBs are playing pretty good. They just went all in on the ghosts of elliott and cook for some reason.

Kinda torn on this one. Generally I think it's a bad idea to pay FA RBs. On the other hand, this deal is really not bad at all.

Was expecting him to get around 5 year, 55-60 mill as a FA. 4 years with only 15 guaranteed is very reasonable. Even if he completely flops, it won't hurt the team that much. And if he balls out at maxes out the deal, it's still only a little over $8 mill a year at most. Honestly, don't hate it.

      BREAKING:Panthers re-sign Chuba Hubbard

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I honestly didn't like trading up on the 2nd to draft a RB with a torn ACL. That didn't seem like a great move for this roster. But it wouldn't be a bad move if he proved to be a quality starter. But now signing Chuba to starter money on the hells of that? Yeah, that's significant roster building assets tied up in the RB position which has been a hallmark of the Panthers' roster building thought process over the years which has led to zero sustained success on the field.

      But it's not a plug and play like teams were thinking.  Ask the Cowboys and the Bears thinking they were fine letting Montgomery walk.  Ask the Texans who had to trade for Mixon because their backfield held them back.  @Bear Handsbroke down the top running teams in the league and they have a very similar allocated of money/investments in the RB room.  It's a $15 million guaranteed contract over 4 years.  IF we are paying him the full 32 then he is playing very well and earning 8 plus million a year over 4 years.  I don't think we are doing the starter/backup scenario.  Our OC even said he has plays featuring both backs in the backfield.  We are trying to be a RB committee with a RB room that isn't that expensive compared to the league average.  IF Chuba plays to his top potential and we pay out all money he will average between Stevenson and Swift's average salary.

      I'm just reporting it, not getting excited.  That will no doubt go down with new contracts. But because we've been drafting so many busts, there's no one in house to extend lol.  Could be spent on a lot of known resources.
