Good analysis. I hope Stew comes back soon but it times to find our future bell cow RB. If this season goes to hell, which I don't think it will, Leonard Fournette is the ideal guy

Before we get a Leonard, this OL needs to be seriously upgraded in my opinion all across the board. They're built for the read option style of running game, not a power running game. And dummies need to let Tolbert go and get a blocking FB

Strewart would marginally help. This offensive line is the root of all problems. Can't run without going jumbo

It really makes you curious how things changed from last season.  Last season, no one could really stop our running game.  Looking at weeks 1-4 last year, we only really had one "good" game to start the year.  While I don't disagree with Bucky's assessment, he's a pretty smart dude after all, and a scout!

We played the two best defenses this year:  Minny and Denver.  Atlanta is playing extremely well right now.  The only dumpster fire we've played as been the 49ers.  So I'm thinking more and more, this is typical Panthers and Rivera for the month of September.  We're a kick away from being 2-2, which is a completely different ballgame.

Maybe, just maybe Tampa is what we need.  We got like 5 take aways last year with Early Tampa...again?

I don't agree with that. The OL was significantly better last year but still it's not like the yards were easy coming. I think the interior hasn't been quite as good and defenses are attacking the edge where the OTs aren't good (Oher was the worst run blocking OT last year) and the TEs aren't either.

 

Stewart had 4 carries over 20 yards. Top OLs can get their RBs that in a few games.

A top RB would be nice, but I agree with you.  Our most desperate needs in this next draft are OT and DE.

There are good RBs usually available even into the 3rd round.  We need to draft new anchors on the ends of both sides of our line before we think about RB.

But, then again, that would be drafting for "need", so who knows what the hell DG will pull next April... lol.

How did we win 17 games last year with the same oline

By having all 5 players played significantly better.

Defenses have come up with counters to the max protect crutch of the Panthers. 

You beat the Denver Broncos with RBs like Tevin Coleman, not Mike Tolbert.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
