Carolina Panthers face tough decision...

Say it ain't so. I hate it, but the way that Getty and Ron do things, you're probably right.

Just think, losing Wegher or CAP and keeping McClain. ***rolls eyes***

With J-Stew's injury history, we may need to keep both. I would hate to lose our big investments, only to have to pick up some JAG mid-season due to lack of depth, or rely on a true change-of-pace back like Fozzy whose frame is not really built for heavy duty.

The J-No thing may have yet another casualty if the rookie corners can't get it together (which they must be having trouble with doing). 

Ugh!

I really wouldn't be surprised if a rb and/or a receiver goes to it with a "hang nail" before final cuts are made. I suspect there are a couple of guys who will not last long at all on the practice squad

imo mcclain is expendable, particularly if tillman returns

Honestly, McClain has proved to be expendable in the sense that not one NFL team picked him up when we cut him last season. He was on the couch until we dragged him up late. Some have suggested that he did a good job upon his return, but not from my perspective. I hope they're just keeping him around to mentor the rookies until the last cuts, but Christmas doesn't come in August.

At RB I wouldn't make Fozzy a lock, I'd like to see Wegher and CAP make it ... Fozzy might be fast but I wouldn't feel comfortable with him being the horse back, CAP and Wegher seem like they can take the punishment of being every down backs 

Fozzy is so well liked by the coaches and the entire team for his play but also in the locker room,  it would take a whole lot for him to be cut.

As intresting as Wegher is,  McClain has made plays, started games, has interceptions and passes defended in the NFL. Wegher is still just an intrigue.

This may or may not be a question by the end of the preseason, RB's have  a way of getting banged up.  Not hoping for injury by any means, but I wouldn't mind shelving Wegher or CAP for another year.  Stew is most likely gone after 16, unless he takes a CJ type pay cut, and I can see Wegher and CAP being good enough to be a RB by committee after this season.

It could be my eyes, but I sure do like Wegher's burst and running "attitude".

I cant believe theyd keep fozzy over two more talented players. Im sorry but Fozzy is an okay 3rd down guy but when stew got injured he was horrible. He couldnt get 3 yards going up the middle and that was a huge problem in the games Stew was out.

We need to make sure we have a RB that can do what we need him to do and i just dont see fozzy being used that much. If we ran more screens, maybe but we dont.

This is my thinking as well. It's kind of rare to go through TC will all of your RB's 100% healthy. They could always use the PUP list to give them a chance to see a player for a while longer, while keeping another player they like.

I would trust CAP as the primary RB if Stew got injured more than I would trust Fozzy but I think Wegher is the odd man out.

I like CAP too, but he did worry me a little with those fumbles last season. BTW, what is with the Fozzy hate? That guy has made some big plays for us and he's obviously a team player.

    • If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway. 
    • You mean tepper but yeah I agree about rhule   Baker is a top 3 potential qb that is play for mvp and he is doing it with a slew of injuries
    • There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
