Let's talk about Fozzy...

[TheNewStandard]

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.

to me he seems like an excellent change of pace behind stewart.

 

 

 

i'd like to have him back.

[rodeo]

I'd love to have him back with a full offseason under Skipper. I can't imagine them letting the guy go.

[TheSpecial1]

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.

I'm 99% sure we'll draft a running back. Stew's going to be gone soon, and Fozzy is also older for a RB.

[TN05]

We have exclusive rights to him so he'll be back

I wouldn't call 2017 'soon'.

[The Huddler]

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.

[TheNewStandard]

The Panthers have thrived off of unknown running backs.

Remember Nick Goings, Stephen Davis and Fred Lane?

That is what Fozzy brings. Stewart, DLo and Biakabatuka are basically the only rbs to brag about that have been drafted.

Stephen Davis? Umm....

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.

[The Lone Panther]

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.

We'll see when.
