a 1-2 punch with him and stewart would punish defenses.

He is good as advertised, the only team getting in the way is Jaguars but I think they will go for Dalvin Cook . 

The 2 back system would be perfect for taking advatange of the players skill set, let Fournette do majority of the carries in traditonal run game while J-Stew  on Tolbert role of pass blocking , dump- offs,recieving, read-option, & short yardage.

He's not better than Peterson. Peterson agility, cutting/juking ability sets him apart.

 He has more power & speed than him, maybe AP is graded 95.0 while LF is 93.0  thats still  a top 10 pick.

The only thing that scares me about Fournette is whether we would evolve into the right type of scheme to let him do his thing....Like the video said, if we are planning on staying with the read option type of running game, and forgoe a traditional type running game, the Dalvin Cook might be a better option.

And what makes you think he has more power than AP? I'm sure he's strong but come on..

Young AP seems more shifty and agile and just as fast.  Not putting Fournette down I'd love to get him but AP is a once in a generation prospect.

But can he do this out of the Read Option.. into the backs of the OLine?... Cause Shulu Aint changing his offense... You guys do remember Shula right? Please listen closely to the requirements at 4:03 of this vid.

 

Think Cook is a better "Fit"

I'm tired of saying it here tbqh, but we aren't going to draft Dalvin Cook, and the team that does is going to take him too early, and they likely have a crappy scouting department. Calling Cook a "fit" for the Panthers is just LOL. He has very little power, needs holes, and is pretty much all speed.  That's the opposite of what we need. He also fumbled like 13 times in three years IIRC.

Fournette is light years ahead of Cook as far as potential in the NFL. To even compare them at this point is just being blatantly biased towards a player you just like or because you're being a contrarian.

Fournette is the best prospect at RB in this draft and probably in at least the last 5 years of the draft. He could end up being better than AP, who is probably the modern standard for RBs.

If he lasts until 8, I want him.

The end.

      Most hated teams

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
