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)

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.

    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
