Stout, fast and takes care of the ball. He's a north south runner with great balance and is aggressive on kickoff returns.

He was solid this season and I really like his cuts and the way he gets extra yards when he gets hit early.

There is no reason why he can't be our designated backup to Stewart. I'm a big fan and think he could be a factor when Stewart is on the sideline.

We don't need to draft another RB outside of UDFA with fozzy on the roster. I'm a big fan and think he is ready for Williams carries of DLo is a June 1st cut.

Hes a good stop gap for now. Long term, I feel like we pick up a RB either late in this year's draft or next year's and he'll become part of a RB rotation that we will be here to stay in Carolina.

 

I could see a relativly cheap yet effective stable of RBs in the future who all bring a little something unique to a rotation. just keep restocking this cheap rotation when one gets hurt/ gets old/ or gets too expensive.

He's developed into what Kenjon Barner was supposed to be. A third down back who can catch the ball out of the backfield and make something happen in the open field.

kB never had the build and toughness that Foz has. Fozzy is all about moving the ball forward regardless of the situation.

I honestly don't think I've seen Fozzy be tackled for a loss.

Like another poster said, Fozzy is a good change of pace back.  He provides solid depth, but will most likely always be a #2 or #3 back.  I just don't see him ever being a full-time starter.  With that being said, we will most definitely draft a runningback in this year's draft.  We would be stupid not to, considering how deep the RB's are this year.  If we can pick up an OT in the FA, then we might take a DE in the first, and since receivers are also deep this year, we could grab a RB in the 2nd ONLY if Gurley is still there.  If not, then I wouldn't mind taking Tevin Coleman in the 3rd or Mike Davis.  But Gurley is without a doubt the most NFL ready back.  When he's back to 100%, watch out.  I think it makes sense for us to take him, with Stew, Fozzy, and Reaves and maybe an UDFA RB on the depth chart, Gurley can take it slow and try and contribute later on in the season.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB.

      All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
