Have you ever seen CAP or Wegher just straight up punish somebody like Jstew? That's what makes Stew so special. He's 235 solid freaking muscle and still runs a 4.4.

That's why he was drafted in the 1st.  He is a legit NFL running back, but has always had lingering issues.

Stew will probably finish up his career as the Panthers best ever RB if I had to guess.

These chunk plays by CAP aren't just happening because it's practice. Against the Giants he had a 26 yard run, a catch for 14 and a catch for 20. Against Atlanta he had a 31 yarder. 

Last year's offense was a grind it out style. We need more big runs this year, we were 13th in 20+ runs. Not to be a hater but we all know Tolbert getting handoffs isn't going to give us that. Any 5 yard run he makes would've been 15 by CAP.

But I also heard he fumbled so none of it matters if he doesn't hold onto the ball.

As I have been saying the whole offseason ..... Fozzy is the odd man out ...... Fozzy will not be on this team in 2016

You may be right and from a pure fan perspective id like to see Wegher because he is more exciting to watch and appears to be the more productive runner.

However... Im not so sure Fozzy is gone. I have no clue how the coaches grade these guys but from a logical standpoint, I'm sure they have criteria and skill sets numbered 1-10 for example. 

Fozzy isn't flashy and doesn't grade super high on any of them but I bet he ranks solid on most if not all of them. (Blocking, versatility, hands, etc) 

Again from a fan perspective I love Weghers story, potential and how he shows up and goes off on game day. Just dam difficult to replace a solid veteran. 

I trust the coaching staff. If Wegher goes off like he did last year I think we find a way to keep him, maybe at the expense of Fozzy, maybe someone else. Very tough choices.

Yep,  stretched out for the goal post and fumbled.

'Player X has a good chance of making the roster' is becoming a redundant theme. Coaches have some tough decisions, coming.

Roster building over the last few years has been good enough that we are now in the position of likely having to cut good players.

It's tough, but also a good problem to have.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
