I'm not so sure Carolina drafts a running back at all.

May 2014:  Why did the Panthers draft another freaking back?  They already have a ton of them. 

October 2014: Chris Ogbonaya scores a touchdown on a sunday, wasn't on roster the prior Sunday

 

 

It's OK to have depth.  The top three were all hurt for a stretch last year.  That didn't get cut along with Deangelo.

Jonathan Stewart

Mike Tolbert

Fozzy Whitaker

Darrin Reaves

 

 

 

 

Jonathan Stewart - Has played in 9, 6 and 13 games the last 3 seasons. Considering Stewart a 16 game starter is foolish at best.

Mike Tolbert - 30 year old running back averaged 2.1 ypc. Can fill a role in short yardage and as a blocking back.

Fozzy Whitaker - Could be a good role player.

Darrin Reaves  - Meh, averaged 2.5 ypc last year making DWill look like a Pro Bowler.

 

Panthers need some sort of infusion of talent at the RB position. 3rd or later draft pick or bargain free agent who wants to come to Carolina.

I don't like the stable of running backs currently inhabiting the roster and in Stewart and Tolbert's case, serious cap space.

This forum has come a long way

Back in the Fox era people were so gung ho about compulsively collecting running backs. Now it could be that the rationale a select group of posters gave (me included) finally got through to the rest of the group, especially when both Williams and Stewart got blockbuster deals and neither of them put in a 1000 yard season. Or it could be that people just go with the status quo and their defenses are ad hoc. Or both.

The idea of a franchise, do-it-all runningback is becoming more and more of a pipe dream. You're better off using a committee of guys that have different skill sets that complement each other like New England does. I'd rather have a 2nd starting receiver than a no.1 running back in this league.

Stewart is an injury away..

Tolbert is slow and fat, also an injury away..

Are we really cool sitting with fozzy and Reaves? Camon now.

 

 

You have no choice but to keep Stewart because the idiot Marty Hurney gave him a ridiculous contract. If you get 10 games out of Stewart in 2015 consider yourself lucky.

Dump Tolbert. save some cap room.

Retain Fozzy.

Reaves is gone.

 

Draft a RB 3rd round or later.

Fill another spot udfa or late free agent post June 1 signng.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
