Panthers Inactives

[Smithers]

Those of you who want to see us give the ball to unknown rookies when we have a perfectly healthy running back playing at a pro bowl level is crazy.  Yes, I'd like to see what the young kids could do.  But I'd also rather have our best 53 on the field.  Stew is fine and shows no signs of needing rest.  Keeping feeding the man the rock.

If Stewy is injured come playoff time I'll be pretty irate.

I'd definitely prefer to see CAP or Wegher over Fozzy and Delaire over Horton, but it is what it is.

Horton and Simonson are so vital to our success over giving our Pro Bowl RB some rest.

Tolbert?

Tolbert doesn't really count, because he's in the same situation. He's a big dude who broke his leg last year. He needs rest as well. 

[Ruff]

The same people who say that Stew doesn't need rest are the same who will crucify Rivera and Co if he gets hurt.

CAP should be active. We better hope Stew doesn't wear down come playoff time. I'd activate him over somone like Horton or Simonson. Btw, it's kinda weird we decided to go with Horton over Delaire. Horton really doesn't do much and was cut earlier this year. Go figure.

Horton is not playing, he's suspended for failing a PED test.  4 week suspension.  Forget when he can be activated.

Ignore me, forgot Horton was suspended. 

I would like to see Cap active over Fozzy but who would catch kicks and immediately take a knee then?

Good point.  I'd probably still take Addison over Delaire for now, so that explains that one.

you do know that we have 3 running backs active, right?  Horton and Simonson being active have nothing to do with CAP being inactive.  We aren't going to go into any game with 4 or 5 active running backs.  

[KB_fan]

Not all of us supporting CAP's being activated want him to replace Stew.  But if we get a big lead on Atlanta, there would be nothing wrong with giving him snaps late in the game.  But you can't give him snaps if he's not active.

I understand Simonson being active.  We're very thin at TE.  Getting him up to speed is important in case Dickson or (God forbid) Olsen goes out.

We're LESS thin at RB.  Tolbert or Fozzy could fill in...

Hopefully though we can lock up home field soon and then get CAP active to give him game experience

[Ship]

I think it has more to do with STs, Fozzy is Kick-off returner and CAP isn't. Maybe they just like Simonson and others in the other ST roles than CAP and Wegher -- who seem like just running backs.

Just goes to show the Panthers have no chill.  

I really want to see CAP, Wegher, and Norwood before the playoffs start.  

Me personally, I've seen enough of Norwood this season.
