Let's talk about Fozzy...

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.

      The good thing about replacing a bad player is you really have nothing to lose. If their replacement is bad so what, you didn't get much worse and probably saved money.

      I came over from the old Panthers Insider site. When Fox Sports bought that platform it slowly just started dying plus the guy who ran that site was dealing with some pretty significant health issues so the whole thing just slowly fell apart. Quite a few of us migrated over here. Not sure how many are still around.  I miss that place. It struck a nice balance of having enough active posters to keep productive conversation flowing but didn't have so much traffic that you end up with a lot of trolling BS. This place is getting there though since we shutdown new registrations but at some point we're going to have to open it back up or we'll watch this place slowly die off too as posters fall off for one reason or another. We just have to figure out a way to filter out the spam bots. It was a never ending battle to ban the spam bots to keep then from overrunning the site. You'd think they'd be a little more strategic. I mean, if you fill a site with nothing but spam people are just going to stop coming so it's not a sustainable model. But nope, every one of them makes dozens of duplicate threads filling up pages upon pages as soon as their account goes live.

      lol...I don't remember that.  Although recalling what I had for breakfast yesterday is sometimes a challenge.  Hope it was a positive thing.
