Panthers open with: CHI at ATL at CLE DET then a bye. Seems like putting Brazzell on IR-return would be smart. Slow start vs Dennis Allen seems likely, but Young has had some big games in Atlanta and next two matchups are more manageable [Quoted](

Didn't even need a practice highlight to get big-time Jonathon Brooks hype. Just some good ole fan fiction from practice. The man is going to be going before Chuba Hubbard in home leagues by the end of August. [Quoted](

NegativeDepth ChartJul 27, 2026Legendary Upside

Chuba Hubbard is the incumbent back ahead of Jonathan Brooks in the Eagles depth chart; Brooks' upside depends on his ability to pass Hubbard for touches and role expansion as the season progresses.

The source doesn't love Hubbard this season and might not even like him, citing concerns about his role security despite strong 2024 production. Hubbard commanded 78% of the Panthers' rushing attempts in 2024 (tied for league-lead with Jonathan Taylor) and posted the fourth-best Utilization Score (85) at the position en route to an RB16 finish in PPR points per game. However, the source is rather high on Jonathon Brooks and his path to taking over the RB1 role in Carolina, suggesting downside risk for Hubbard's workload.

Panthers RB; cited as one of 7 RBs finishing RB15+ on sub-7 win teams over last 3 years (2024); historical precedent for elite talent overcoming bad situation.

Post frames him as potentially relegated to background if Brooks takes off; article notes he 'stunk in 2025.' Community pushback: Hubbard was injured most of 2025 and returned too early; 4.1 YPC before injury is respectable; full offseason to recover. Contract status cited as reason coaching staff unlikely to bench him despite Brooks hype. Some argue Canales already pivoted to Rico Dowdle (who out-carried Hubbard by 100+ carries after Chuba's return), suggesting coach will use best player regardless of salary. Others defend Hubbard as reliable, consistent pass-catcher needed to keep ball from Bryce Young. Likely scenario: 50/50 split or committee approach rather than clear starter designa...

On Jonathon Brooks: Several 1st team reps (same with Trevor Etienne) Expected to be a regular contributor in the backfield Take: It’s a matter of health + how much he can win or takeover from Chuba, who the team has historically labeled as a leader and seems to trust.

Atop Panthers RB depth chart; $33M contract over 4 years (all guaranteed years now expired). 2025 stats: 4.1 YPC before injury; only 1 broken tackle all season; 242 yards after contact (down from 539 in 2024). Community view: 'fine' but not elite; 'JAG' (just a guy); defined by lack of explosiveness. Brooks truthers argue talent gap is 'massive'; skeptics counter that Hubbard is 'below average starting RB' but not a JAG, and his contract suggests Panthers expect him to remain relevant. Likely split backfield scenario if Brooks stays healthy.

.@CameronWolfe on Jonathan Brooks: “Talking to people in Carolina, he’s looked incredible this spring… The hope is early in the season, he can form a 1-2 punch with Chuba Hubbard. But if he is healthy, he can be the lead back of this offense and take them to another level.”

Chuba Hubbard's ADP is converging with Jonathan Brooks, but Novak (a Panthers fan) argues Hubbard is not a true pass-catcher despite catching many balls; he has 'bricks for hands' and was peppered with targets only because Bryce Young lacked other receiving options. Hubbard is a reliable, durable back who can handle 15 carries up the middle but offers limited ceiling and is essentially an average NFL running back.

None of this is me saying I hate Jadarian Price by any means When he was going near Tuten, Judkins, Swift it was not a great bet If he’s going by Chuba and Pollard that’s where he’s a definite target for me He’s trending that way so you’ll see me scoop

Article frames Hubbard as vulnerable (no explosive runs, poor missed-tackle rate, yards-after-contact metrics). Community pushes back: Hubbard lost touches due to hamstring injury early last season but won his job back when healthy; he's the safer play over Brooks. Comments note he's 'the guy' and that Brooks' opportunity is overstated.

Chuba Hubbard, while a warrior who plays with incredible effort and finished as RB15 last season, is less naturally talented than Jonathan Brooks and limited in receiving and screen game usage compared to what Canales wants to implement.
