First year DG didn't draft a RB

A vote of confidence in our RB group of Stewart, Tolbert, Fozzy, CAP, and Wegher, or just how the cards fell in the draft?

 

2013: Kenjon Barner

2014: Tyler Gaffney

2015: Cameron Artis-Payne

 

Did he draft RBs in '14 and '15 because the one he drafted the previous year didn't work out? And it was clear they didn't work out by the end of their first season (Gaffney was on the Pats' IR and it was pretty clear Barner didn't fit Shula's offense very well and mainly is too small to play in the league). If so, does this mean the team believes CAP could take over for Stew in the future? Or just having confidence in Stew this year and looking to the stacked RB class of '17 (I don't follow college ball outside of draft season so I have no clue if this is true, but I heard that quite a bit this year)?

Just looking back at the 2013 draft: The WR class wasn't too deep, while 2014's was projected to be phenomenal. Everyone wanted Dave to grab a WR in 2013, but that didn't happen until 2014, when the time was right.

Same could be said for RB's. Not many stand out talent this year as far as RB's go, while next year I believe is projected to have quite the bit of decent backs coming in the draft. Maybe Dave strikes his move then, like he did in 2014, when the quality is better?

Yes.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      First of all the out was not caught because XL slipped and was the only person who could have caught that ball.  I'm not sure where you get that it was almost intercepted but go ahead and believe your story. The kick was in the direction we wanted the ball from the opening kickoff.  Do you think Fitzpatrick didn't try several kicks in that direction before the game and after half?  Do you think we just winged it.  Come on, OK so he missed one earlier.  Kickers can't adjust.  You make it sound like it was a wing and a pray. I saw the game.  Yes and we still got 21 yard from the running game.  We also got two first downs via that pass.  So it isn't like it was 100% we were going to run.   You have your blinders on and hate BY so much that you can't give him any credit because it defeats your narrative that he completely sucks.   What I have yet to here is you 100% for sure solution.  Which QB are you going to bring in that GUARANTEES that he'll be better than BY.  See the difference between you and me is I understand that he isn't the greatest QB to play the game.   But he has strengths and he continues to win whether you like it or not.  You and I have been on this forum for many years and agreed and disagreed on many topics.  I don't think I have ever seen you so filled with so much hatred for a player than BY.   I'm just going to leave it here to agree to disagree because you aren't going to change my outlook and I definitely am not going to change yours.  I do appreciate no personal attacks.  Someone said it earlier.  Ride with our game manager until a Mahomes falls into our laps.

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      The key difference being expectation. Jake was basically an afterthought of a free agent signing. Bryce is a guy we mortgaged the franchise on to be THE GUY. Not to mention a different era of football before all the rule changes to benefit the passing game. I don't care how we win either. I just realize that the odds of continuing to win in today's NFL with this level of QB play are very low. If I knew for sure that the Panthers had already decided to pursue other options at QB this off-season I could breathe a sigh of relief but of course they're not going to say that publicly.
