Good read from Max Henson on Panthers.com

I found this snippet about Wegher most interesting.

"You have to think long term as well as short term," Gettleman said. "That’s really what it was. We feel that Brandon has got a chance to be a really good back.

 

I said it a few days ago and got a ribbing for it, but next season the Artis-Payne / Wegher combo is the new double trouble.... and will be more effective than the old one was in many seasons.

It appears Gettleman sees the obvious. Running games are built with an offensive line first followed by good scouting for later round runners.

But... but... Gettleman did nothing in our offseason to improve our OLine.  Oher are you kidding me?  And some 3rd round rookie and those no name guys off the street from last year.  Obviously G'man has no clue how to scout OLine talent.

It's certainly a possibility that the team looks to move on from Stewart if his play doesn't match his contract, or he gets hurt again. But if Stewart can stay healthy, he should have a few more productive years left in him. He's still only twenty eight. With him and Artis-Payne as our one-two punch, we have an exciting pairing going forwards. 

Wegher has shown promise in preseason, but he first has to prove himself in regular season when he gets his opportunities. If he takes them, maybe he carves out a bigger role for himself, but it will be difficult to see him surpass Artis-Payne and Stewart unless one of them struggle.

I love your enthusiam but the talent level is compeltey different between the two, people will realize how valuable Stewart will be once the season gets rolling.

At their peak and when healthy Double Trouble was one of the best RB tandems in NFL history. CAP and Wegher may be a great tandem but they aren't as talented. Let's go easy on the hyperbole

If only they were half as good as the legend that surrounds them today! 

It was one season and really just half that season in 2008. They were good no doubt, but time removed has inflated the greatness dramatically

Thank you for paying attention. 

The myth is so much greater than the reality ever was. Deangelo wasn't worth much for the past few seasons and Stew was often injured.

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
