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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

      You keep rounding up to $10 in order to exaggerate your point which usually means your point is very strong.  Bijan is making 5.5 millions a year to Chuba's 8.5 and they used an absolute premium pick on him in a top 10 pick.  That pick vs were we picked Chuba or even Brooks are two very different draft prospects.  Chuba has the attitude and skillset we want to build a better team and culture.  He has shown he can be a top RB and we are paying him a moderate salary. You also need to look at the contract again.  Only $15 million is guaranteed.  It could look very similar to that Henry 2 year $16 million dollar one you are suggesting we do instead.  Always look at the guaranteed vs the total money.  If Chuba gets the total money he is cooking and we are happy.   You want us to use assets elsewhere because we have so many holes but you also want us to draft another WR in the first, probably top 5 this year will all of the other holes we have on the roster.  To me those two opinions don't line up.  Back to back 1st round picks on WRs when we have so many holes.  I think we are just keeping good young players that want to be here and Chuba fits the mold.  TMac could also fit that mold.

      I dont believe Bryce is the future at all but I also dont believe we should use a first on Sanders or Ward. Grab someone later in the draft or wait until next year is what I would do but if I were always right I would be a GM so theres that too I guess.

      Why are we wasting money on RBs? Not even 2 years and we overpaid for 2 RBs!

      I swear there are like 6 people on this godforsaken website that must be paid just to piss and moan all day in these stupid ass threads, for years on end, about fugging everything. Always something to whine about. If y'all aren't getting paid to professionally bitch about this team at every opportunity you need to reevaluate your lives because that ish is pathetic for grown ass men to be doing.  There are at least 50 other voices of reason in here. They're all smarter than you kneejerking perpetual contrarians. It's a fine contract. Our previous dipstick GM ran this team like some college kid that read a few Investopedia articles on technical trading and started throwing daddy's money at every positive indicator he saw - look what happened when Fitt drafted by RAS because he couldn't identify talent if it was footballs deep in his wife in the war room. It's a football team and this preoccupation with analytics, in this instance the positional value of RBs, is like 30% of the equation. It's not wholly inaccurate, but it requires a lot of context and, going back to the trading analogy, an understanding of the fundamentals. This is a sad, crappy organization that needs some winning attitudes in the locker room and on the field. $15 mil guaranteed over two years is nothing compared to the intangible value he brings, and the message the contract sends, not to mention his stellar work ethic and consistent improvement.
