Our running backs are dead last in receiving yards

We have 285 receiving yards from backs. To put that into perspective the two worst passing teams in the league (49ers and Bills) both have over 400 yards receiving from their backs.

According to football outsiders Stewart is the worst receiving back in the league

I knew Stewart had stone hands, but this is just sad. Hopefully our next back can actually catch.

Have you seen Cam throw a screen or pass into the flat lately? Not exactly his strong suit. I can't remember how many times I've seen him throw to Stewart in the flat in years passed that require him to either spin completely around because it's behind him or leap because it's high.

Last week he hit Stewart right in the hands and he dropped it. Stewart is a stiff at this point in his career.

Our RB's aren't asked to do much pass catching but it would be nice for Cam to have that outlet. Maybe DG will get us a pass catching RB in the draft...maybe Christian McCaffrey in the 1st rd. Just kidding but snagging one in the draft would be a good move in my opinion.

In all honesty, Stewarts not the kind of guy who'll be catching a lot of screens, because that's not Shula's style. I'm sure Cam is more than capable - and Stewart too. It's just Shula is a bit behind with all these new football styles that never existed when his daddy coached the Miami Dolphins. 

He doesn't have the right crayons for a "screen."

Heck, he doesn't even know what that modern day term is.

It would be interesting to see up to date stats but in 2013 we utilized and benefitted from screen plays and especially rb screens near the top of a sorted list.

In 2014 it's more like top third.

So I realize you are fishing for likes but the facts show Shula knows what a screen is.

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By MechaZain · Posted

      I think we have some revisionist around it here because of all the drama around Tepper's involvement. If you pull up any scouting report from the time you'll see the same take. WalterFootball's report sums up the media's thoughts on him well: "Young has everything the NFL is looking for in a quarterback except in terms of weight and height." He was the consensus top QB of his draft and the only real question mark they had about him was whether his body could hold up in the NFL. The infamous Steph Curry comparison the Panthers latched onto came from Albert Breer. The excuses I've heard for him are more anecdotal. Bryce Young's development is the only bullet point most NFL fans have on the Panthers right now. That and the coaching turnover. If you're not actually watching our games it's easy to believe this is just a dysfunctional organization that doesn't know how to unleash this talented Heisman winner.  I've seen media and fans alike run with that narrative way more than criticizing Young outright. Whenever we win there's flocks who use it as proof that the Panthers just need to be patient.

      So maybe 1-3 vs playoff teams, going by standings as of today. I guess that is an improvement.  We are just about improved enough to be in purgatory draft wise. It really isn’t so bad in the 1st unless you really want that top QB or maybe edge guy because there are usually plenty of good players at the top but it hurts you some as get deeper in the draft.
