Would Eddie Lacy Be Worth a Gamble?

In breezing over the potential FAs over at spotrac, Eddie Lacy's name jumped out on the list of RBs.

He will turn 27 this summer, but when healthy/in shape, is the kind of RB that Carolina prefers. Prior to this past season, he's played a full season and two 15-game seasons, and he's amassed 1100+ yards per season, twice in the past 5 years. I know he looks like the Pilsbury dough boy in the offseason, but he did show up pretty svelte for his standards last year before getting injured.  

If we don't draft Fournette, Cook or Foreman, or decide to wait on RB until later in the draft, could Lacy be a good fit beside Cam in this offense?

Weight has been a real issue the past few seasons. He slimmed down quickly this past offseason but then gained a lot of it back throughout 2016. Ended the year not much lighter, if at all, than in 2015. 

I'm going to lean no on this. He's decent when skinny, but he's eating himself out of a job. Couple that with Krispy Kreme, Bojangles, Cook Out, and other fast food available in the south, I don't see him staying slim.

Nah, I'm good. We already have Tolbert and we don't even want him.

The answer should be based on whether Stewart is here or not. If JStew is cut loose after failure to renegotiate a new contract, than Lacy may possibly fit as a stop gap. Nobody will sign him to more than a 1 year prove it contract. If JStew is still here we need to get a legit speed back to back him up. The offense needs speed, both at WR and RB, and Lacy does not bring that lol. A guy like Gio Bernard would compliment Stewart very well..

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
