Dalvin Cook: The ultimate Weapon

I don't want the Panthers to select him at 8.  I like his elusiveness and ability to play out of the shotgun, read-option style stuff, but if we're selecting a RB that high in the draft, he needs to be a player that can be used any down of the game.  He isn't good enough in short yardage for me liking and his pass blocking isn't a strength either.  Pass.

Never will be a Panther.

"SOURCES TELL US

 "Fumbles and arrests are a bad combination. He's got a lot of ability but he's got on the field problems with ball security and multiple arrests off of it. You have to decide if he will be responsible with more money and more time on his hands. If you have any doubts, just wait around for another running back because there will be plenty this year." - NFC executive"

If we run a lot of Read Option- sure. If we move away from that and get a true FB then I disagree

Everyone is dying to get a real FB but I just don't see us over hauling our entire offense to fit a RB. Even in Cam's rookie season where we had the most success running the ball it came out of single back, two TE sets and shotgun, we hardly ever used a FB in a traditional sense.

I don't know that we're necessarily going to "overhaul" the offense, as much as we are going to move away from the read-option. That's happening. Rivera already has said it multiple times. The thing is though, it's not an "evolution" to "fit a RB," it is about minimizing Cam's use as the primary rusher in the offense. So, in a way, it's more about Cam than it will be about a new RB. We'll arguably be getting closer to a traditional Panthers type of offense. Get ready to see more two-back sets.

People don't know what Dalvin is like now. He is a leader in the locker room. He had trouble his freshman year, and I don't think it's enough to deter us. I don't trust Fournette, but then again I've only seen Dalvin play. He fits the offense. Also, his field vision is ridiculous. And he can catch out of the backfield (ha dude said it in the video as i typed it). But his cut, his power, his quickness for hitting the hole, we need this guy. Fournette seems more finesse. Plus we got KB.

We can move away from the read option and still run out of the shotgun. We have never used two back sets in a traditional sense since Cam has been drafted I don't expect us to start 7 years later. At the end of the day Cam feels most comfortable in the shotgun running a no huddle offense, we need a RB to help him in that sense.

      You Done with Morgan Yet?

      By Newtcase · Posted

      I was never onboard with Morgan to begin with.  The dude always seemed a hammer short of a full tool bag, maybe too many concussions.  He was a Fitterer hold over and I thought he should have been gone when Fitts went.  He literally made it to NFL GM with no credentials to speak of other than a playing career.  Shorts stints of personnel management for the Seahawks and Bills, neither organization choosing promotion or retention.  I believe Morgan was added as a friendly face to sooth the a fanbase that was growing to hate Tepper and probably retained for the same reason.  Morgan never coached, had minimal front office experience and the GM he "assisted" was deservedly fired.  From what I can find online he received a BA in Liberal Arts from Miami so that isn't exactly a qualification either.

      If you really want to change the identity of the culture, then your opinion may indeed be the way to go. 1) I see nothing from our drafts since 2020 to indicate that either the scouts or the GM's are shrew evaluators of college talent. 2) A new GM should be able to hire a coach since his livelihood is directly affected by how well the coach can get the team to perform on Sundays. The only time I'm ok with a GM keeping the coach that proceeded his hiring is if the new GM wants to work with the coach. Ideally, He should have final say over the coach instead of the owner. And, that coach and GM need to be in sync on how the team should be run on both sides of the ball. 3) A new coach should be able to pick his own staff. If he wants to keep a coach already on the staff that's fine. A new HC hire shouldn't be told that you have to use this guy for one of the jobs, especially a position as important OC or DC.

      The crazy thing is some of these plays that went down to like 2 on the play clock were basic inside zone runs. That poo shouldn't take 30+ seconds to decide when you are down 24... It's not like they had to hot route multiple receivers and change blocking assignments after lining up. It's almost like Canales has somebody else's playbook and needs to flip through 10 pages to try and figure out what play he is going to run
