just watched a video saying foreman was the best pass blocking rb in the class.

 

but yeah, cook might be one of the worst, do not want 

Then give me Foreman in the second and another position in the first. Didn't know that about Foreman. I was already a fan before now I'm sold.

Those of you predicting Cook over Fournette probably are not taking into consideration one huge factor when replacing Jonathan Stewart...

By all accounts, Fournette is by far the better pass blocking back.

Discuss.

 

The only real obstacle is the Jaguars, but I think they will take Cook.

This is why I have been advocating for the 2 back system with J-Stew taking on pass protection, zone reads, dump offs,.etc while Fournette takes more of the traditional carries.

This allows you to keep the best football players on the field and allow you to mentor the rookie.

If Stew won't take a pay cut and we are forced to cut him we should pursue Lat Murray. In addition to anyone we can snag in the draft. HB depth has been horrible. Ideally we draft Fournette or another top prospect and keep Stew, but as of right now without a pay cut keeping him is not worth the $6.5M we'd save by cutting him.

And even aside from Cook's PB we shouldn't consider him at all in the first round with his off the field issues and other on field concerns.

This guy has been a huddle favorite before-very objective Bears fan that has been a Cam supporter.  He nails this one again, Fournette is good enough now but can improve as a pass blocker.  He's not Bo Jackson but not the fumbling machine Peterson is.  He's a wet dream for the Panthers at 8 and a nightmare for the other 31 if it happens.

Jaguars have one RB under contract until 2021 and another until 2019, multiple holes, and maybe Allen as a choice.  Small chance they go Fournette.

The Jets are the biggest obstacle.  Hopefully all these QBs and/or DBs will be lights out this offseason and they'll reach for one.

I'm admittedly nervous, but our chances are very good.

They have Matt Forte are they not happy with him?

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.

      I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
