Tyler Gaffney Panthers Comparison

If I had to choose a Panthers player form the past to compare Tyler Gaffney to, I would have to go with Stephen Davis. In addition to having nearly the same size, they appear to have the same game as well.

 

 

 

The Similarities:

 

  • Both just over 6 foot.
  • Both around 220ish
  • Both have shorter strides while running. Davis learned to run lower in the NFL, Gaffney hopefully will as well.
  • Both are more straight forward runners, have limited shiftiness, and aren't afraid of contact.
  • Both have the patience to let their blocks develop and follow them well.
  • Stephen Davis selected in the 4th in 1996. That might translate today to the 7th or even an UDFA. Gaffney of course drafted in the 6th.

so is barner cut? or other? seems NO room unless a injury happens. before the draft, ive even heard mike zordich was making the team. plus the numbers at TE dont help either(over full). i did read a few sites had a 4th round grade on him(meh).

Scat back, possibly a replacement for Barner?

I'm not so sure I see the quickness from Reeves to be a scat back. When watching Reaves, first thing you notice is that hes a super patient runner. Reaves is a tweener, has power back qualities but lacks size, and like I said I don't think he's explosive enough to be a home run hitter type back.

Barner's job to lose imo. My hope is that Barner hit the weight room this offseason and added 10 pounds or so.

      I am high, but that’s besides the point! The blue line is not good right now. I’ve said it all year. I don’t think this group meshes well. Slaven has been just OK Niki up and down Miller up and down ghost and Walker have been your most consistent guys. Maybe it comes together more towards the playoffs

      I was expecting to see more cap room moves by now, which may be to suggest that we are not going to be that aggressive.  I have mixed emotions about that (because I think we have 3 needs on D and 3 needs on O--starters).  If you look to the draft for 3 starters, that is ambitious.  We need 6

      Yeah we shouldn’t be competing with teams, bidding wise, to sign a WR. There will be one for us and our budget.  I keep saying, how many balls will there be to go around anyway? One thing good I will say for this offense is the ball has been spread around at times. Seems like I remember seeing a large number of guys have caught passes in a game. Or been targeted at least. 3 RBs 4 or 5 WRs 2-3 TEs type of stat lines. 10-11 guys.  Not every week but that happens.    As far as WR in general, we need the smaller agile and quicker component to compliment what is there. After that it should be about depth, having good backups for the starters so we can run things consistently still, if a guy is out for a week or two. That is especially important in game where you have to finish the game with who you made active.
