on paper, our new RB Jordan Todman is an upgrade over Fozzy

Todman is younger and more productive. If Todman is indeed the better player, do we cut Fozzy? Or do we cut Reaves? Or do we keep all three in addition to both Stewart and the RB we likely draft to replace DeAngelo as our #2?

kick return average over last two seasons combined:

26.31 avg - Jordan Todman (64 kick returns for 1,684 yds)

25.33 avg - Percy Harvin (33 kick returns for 836 yds)

22.50 avg - Fozzy Whittaker (40 kick returns for 900 yds)

NFL career rushing yards per carry:

4.1 ypc - Jordan Todman (111 carries for 450 yds)

3.7 ypc - Fozzy Whittaker (60 carries for 224 yds)

2.5 ypc - Darrin Reaves (31 carries for 78 yds)

2014 rushing yards per carry:

5.8 ypc - Jordan Todman (32 carries for 186 yds)

4.5 ypc - Fozzy Whittaker (32 carries for 145 yds)

2.5 ypc - Darrin Reaves (31 carries for 78 yds)

Jordan Todman, Yards from Scrimmage

2013 (age 23) - 372 (rush 256/ rec 116)

2014 (age 24) - 384 (rush 186/ rec 198)

Fozzy Whittaker, Yards from Scrimmage

2013 (age 24) - 234 (rush 79/rec 155)

2014 (age 25) - 205 (rush 145/rec 60)

Darrin Reaves, Yards from Scrimmage

NBC:

“Jordan is a veteran running back who has had some success in this league,” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. “We think he has some return skills and we are always looking to be good in that area. At running back, he brings versatility. He is stout and physical enough to run the ball up inside, but he’s got the quickness and speed to get outside to the corner.”

The Jaguars didn’t tender him an offer this offseason, setting him free into the market. As a result, he won’t cost the Panthers anything in terms of next year’s comp pick formula, making it a risk-free add.

I doubt this guy would get Fozzy cut. Fozzy is on a 2 year deal. Why sign Fozzy for 2 years and replace him a few weeks later?

 

I do think we are loading the stables because one or more of these running backs will go down. Todman looks like a legit return man and special teams player. It feels like we are filling out or roster with more veterans this year. Feels like there won't be as much room for undrafted long shots.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      This is one of my key concerns lost in the sauce that is the neverending conversation about him evading pressure and the OL. Eventually any QB is going to have to step up into the pocket and show the defense they can still beat them even if they get through. We have a limited QB who cannot consistently do this and as such we are relegated to going back and forth about how successful he was at evading pressure but we have little else to write home about. Tyler Shough stepped up into the pocket and made plays despite being pressured and sacked. He's played in about 35 less games than Bryce Young. That is a problem. And isn't just going to go away. The Bucs are going to do the same thing after watching the film.

      Oh, absolutely! That doesn't absolve the absolute dogshit hockey that the team played in front of him, though. Only Cane that played well tonight was Bradly Nadeau.

      Thanks for illustrating my point.  No one in the last several pages of this discussion is suggesting we should hang on to him, but anytime someone says anything less than "take him out back and shoot him" you act like they are. That's either you not understanding what you're reading or just being a nimrod because you can't keep up. (I would have said 'or just sh-tposting' but you're way too emotional on this topic for that) Either way, the result is the same 😆
