MAILBAG: Carolina Panthers Running Back Rotation SPARKS Controversy | Is Dave Canales making the RIGHT decision?

Julian Council breaks down Dave Canales' handling of the RB rotation between Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle, following Dowdle's breakout performance while Hubbard was dealing with a calf injury. Is Canales making the right decision, splitting touches, considering that Dowdle has been the more explosive back this season?

Through seven weeks, the Panthers have faced the NFL's third-easiest schedule. What now awaits them is the fourth-toughest schedule in the final ten weeks. Is there a path to 10 wins for Carolina, or will the tougher schedule limit their win total?

Despite the Panthers collecting six sacks on Sunday in the win vs. the Jets, the pass rush still ranks among the bottom of the NFL. With Patrick Jones II out for the season and rookies Princely Umanmielen and Nic Scourton coming into their own, should the Panthers look to deal for an EDGE rusher prior to the trade deadline?

Tune in for expert insights as Julian answers listener mailbag questions.
