Why do they insist in Starting CAP over Fozzy?

Fozzy has outplayed him the last two games as a backup. CAP can't even handle handoffs correctly

 

First. Tolbert ran into Cam on a hand-off as well. Things are off back there.

 

Second. Cap is a better between the Tackles runner. Fozzy is more the outside the Tackles runner. Two different styles. So they are used differently in the run game. However, IMO, the reason Cap gets the start, is because his style fits what we like to do. Ground and pound. Once that kicks in, that is when we start to mix things up.

 

Lastly. Fozzy has 27 carries, and Cap has 18. Fozzy has 18 catches, Cap has 1. So Fozzy is getting plenty of work. Just not the start.

Tolbert is a useless tub of lard.

 

And who cares if he's better between the tackles, he's barely getting any yards. If the outside running is working better we should do it more and start Fozzy  CAP is slow, small and is terrible and handling the ball, when Fozzy started week 2 he didn't juggle ball every handoff.

 

This is the coaches being hardheads and not being able to adapt.

You could try to explain the difference between a workhorse back and a change of pace back.

Or you could just give up and say "screw it".

Yeah CAP is the prototypical work horse back ... Stewart-light 

Fozzy isn't an every down back

Work horse? LOL according to who?

 

Just cause Fozzy is smaller and has actual 4.4 speed doesn't mean he can't carry the load. Jamal Charles doesn't ring a bell?

I agree and what really bothered me was that they gave CAP the start after Fozzy's 100 yard game, when CAP was inactive. Why can't we simply use our players to their strength instead of trying to force something that obviously isn't working and why die it take so long for them to realize that it isn't working? Did RR not say during Preseason that Stewart and Fozzy were locks and the battle for the 3rd spot was between CAP and Wegher... I don't get it

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
