Buck Allen vs Duke Johnson

Is Stewart not a 3rd down back either? How about Williams? McCoy? How about Demarco Murray, is he a 3rd down back?

Be careful as to how you respond, because all those backs are the same height and within 10 lbs of another.

I really hate it when people "act" like they know what they're talking about, and they don't. On the other hand, I know nothing about Buck other than he's out of USC. I could read a scouting report on him but why bother? A scouting report doesn't tell you what your eyes have seen following a player for 3 years. I digress

I know body built doesn't mean poo to you...

So I'm not going to waste my time explaining the different body prototypes..

I'll just let reality hit you when Duke is backing up another RB his whole career..

Same height/weight of several players doesn't equal the same body type?

Good night Sir

No it doesn't genius..

Words like

Compact

Long

Thickness

Slim

Are body type differences..

Can you honestly look at Stewart and Duke Johnson and think they are built the same? ?

My choice would be Buck Allen because we have a Fozzy and we have a Stewart.  Buck is not the same back as either of these and provides a home run thread anytime he gets through the line.  His vision and change of direction, along with his speed are pretty impressive.  Duke is a good back also.

My opinion on the whole RB class this year:  we have the 1st tier pair Gurley and Gordon (round 1).  The 2nd tier pair of Abdullah and Ajayi (round 2).  Then the 3rd tier group of Johnson, Davis, Allen, Coleman, Yeldon and Langford (round 3+).  All groupings ordered by my preference.

I believe Buck Allen has more of a chance to be an every down back compared to Duke Johnson who seems to be more of a change of pace/ 3rd down back. Johnson has had injury issues but I believe he has a higher ceiling than Allen. Allen has only had one good season which could be bad but could be good because he has less miles compared to Johnson who is Miami's all time rusher.

Here is NFL.coms info on the two so you can make your own opinion on the two.

    • The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?
    • I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this! 
    • in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
