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?

    • Think the "official time" put out was 4.48, but there were a lot of scouts there who of course all had difference times as it's all handed timed by them.  Think I saw it as low as 4.43 and as high as 4.62 or something, but in the end it's all basically the same speed because 40 yard dash is so pointless. Anyone who complains about his speed is just someone who wants a Chase/Jefferson/Nabers style #1 as opposed to an Evans style #1 who isn't going to beat you because of his speed but his other abilities. In the end, he's fast enough for a player his size and surprisingly quicker and more agile than people give him credit for too. The real problem is that Panthers fans can't get our past big WR failures out of their head, they hear "big WR" and automatically see a plodding KB or Jarrett in their minds and assume that's also T-Mac.
    • If you are buying Silver Club, 300 level, try and the buy ones that have the Lot 1 parking pass.  it is steps to the stadium Also, buy on the shade side my PSls used to be section 342, under the overhang.  I didnt care about sun or rain plenty of sites have interactive  maps that can show you   Just know, if they are opposite side of 342, the sun will beat on your head…endzones too.   if, you know for sure that you are going, and you need a hotel room, do it now  you can always cancel … remember, even if the panthers suck,  the national press follows them as do their fans.  Hotel rooms go fast for that game 
    • didn't he run like a 4.52?
