If we take Fournette. Do we actually use him?

[OneBadCat]

I want Fournette to be a Panther but one thing that I am concerned about is if we take him, does Ron give him enough carries? 

I just don't want him pulling a John Fox and not giving him enough opportunities like he did with DeAngelo when Foster was the starter. 

That said Stewart is a much better player than Foster was and has earned the right to start. Given that both Stew and LF are power runners how do we know he'll get enough touches?

I think Stew and LF would be an incredible duo but I'm not sure I have the faith in Shula or Ron to not f that up.

If we waste his first two years until Stew is cut I'd rather us take McCaffrey for his instant impact as a returner and receiver. That could get us a closer to a superbowl now than later.

Yes, I would certainly hope so

gettlemen said previously a 1st round pick should be an impact player.  if its a rb, then yes they will play.

This is one of my concerns but the same thing can be said with any position on the offensive side. Will Shula plan an offense that will work around CM? Will Shula be able to utilize the 2 TE sets effectively we go OJ? We have 2 more years with Stew I can totally see Fournette taking the reigns from him mid season. This way we really wouldn't have to adjust as much being that we have been a power running team before. I believe there is more adjustments that must be made accommodating CM than Fournette or OJ.

First two years? I can promise you if Fournette is drafted, he'll be THE RB in 2018.

[Daddy_Uncle]

only position I can see him at year one and maybe year two is towel boy. Maybe water boy too if he performs well in camp

I'm just saying you guys know Ron is with his vets. Don't be surprised if you find yourself screaming at the TV when you want Fournette on 3rd and 1 and Shula calls screen to Stewart.

But then we drafted Butler last year...

[mc52beast]

No way Getty drafts LF or anyone else in the top ten and that person doesn't see significant playing time... dude will get his touches

he didnt play much due to a nagging injury.  no reason to risk making it worse.
