If we take Fournette. Do we actually use him?

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.

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.

    • Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
    • Bryce youngs first starts for 3 years   51 of 103 49%     153 yards avg 6 ints 2 tds   But this is the year he turns it around
    • His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
