Could we see Shaq at running back?

First of all, I'd like to see Shaq get some reps in camp at RB. Not many, but to switch things up. I really think that with his skillset, we should give him 5-10 carries in the regular season. I know he wants to play LB and all, but to have someone of that build and that ability, we'd be crazy not to try him on offense some.

 

And it sounds like I'm not the only one thinking that way.

 

"One thing you look at with players is, 'Do they score touchdowns or do they prevent touchdowns?' Well, he's shown he has the ability to do both," head coach Ron Rivera said. "He's a very physical football player that has an innate ability to get around the football and make things happen. We're excited about that."
"He's really a complete package. There isn't anything he isn't capable of doing on the field that fits us," Gettleman said.

The context in which Dave made that quote I believe was referring to his play at linebacker (scoop and scores, pick sixes, etc.)

It would be neat to see him at running back but that really seems like an unnecessary risk with three specialist rbs , a fullback and a feature back already on the roster.

Only for emergencies, if that.

      ESPN and Cam Newton

      ESPN has a whole is just hot takes and the dumbest takes possible. That is why it sucks so badly. They intentionally drag everything down to a lightspeed retarded level so that it is unwatchable. No jounalism, no nuance, no in depth analysis....just idiot after idiot blabbering/shouting about some hot button issue that they really have no real strong opinions about until the camera is rolling.

      Thielen traded

      Young is the overwhelming priority. We have ample time on them and it's far easier to pivot at WR than QB. Remember that 2026 is year 4 for Bryce. That is 5th year option decision time and also the prime time to attempt to regain resources if a pivot is made. The odds of gaining any assets in a trade afterwards plumment very rapidly(all this depending on performance, obviously). At the end of that cycle, now we are likely in a $45+ million territory for him to remain.  So that decision trumps all others by a mile when it comes to personnel.
