What to make of Cameron Artis-Payne

Looks like the topic of Cameron Artis-Payne came up in the roster thread. I feel like it deserves an objective look in its own thread. 

Here is what Cameron Artis-Payne did in 2016. 

Week 3 - 12 attempts - 47 yards

Week 4 - 6 attempts - 12 yards

Week 5 - 18 attempts - 85 yards

The rest of the weeks he was inactive.

He was only ever active when Jonathan Stewart was inactive. 

He was inactive when Stewart was not 100%. 

So, does averaging 12 attempts when Stewart is out mean that CAP is the clear cut starter behind Stewart? 

Do you think CAP should be considered a lock to make the team this year?

He wasn't clear cut starter behind Stew even before McC.

How many of those yards were accumulated by recovering his own fumbles?

Kidding, of course, but when I hear CAP, I think "ball security" not "4 yards per carry".

He has fumbled one single time.

I don't think he's a lock. However if Fozzie is expendable then of the current guys I suppose he makes it.

At this point, who knows? It seems like Fozzy is a coach favorite, so that doesn't bode well for CAP. The only way that I see him making the roster is if he can play himself on to it, but I don't believe that Rivera actually lets true competition rule the day. 

I think that blocking will play a part.

At worse, PS. At best, inactive.

He has that reputation, deserved or not, based on a fumble in the preseason--.  He has had ZERO fumbles in the regular season, but has played in only 10 games.

I was joking, of course, but I am not sure the sarcasm came through.  He averages 4 yards per carry on limited carries.  That is what we should be focused on.. 

And I agree with you--what is it that Fozzy gives us that McCaffrey does not?  What is it that he offers us that Samuel could not move to the backfield and give us?  Who is Stewart's backup?

I really can't say that Stew's legit backup or heir apparent is on the roster. 

CAP seems to be just a guy---the default, safe option if calamity strikes. 

That's typically what backups are

Is there any reason not to think CMC could be a better between the tackles runner than CAP?

There is every reason to believe it from watching video. CMC has markedly greater vision, quickness, patience, and a mean jump-cut that may get him to the open hole and ultimately in open space a lot faster.

I think he could be but if they build an offense that relies on having both (stewart and Mccaffery) on the field it  could be in CAPs favour.

Reason I think he will be is
CMC came out of a system that was a between the tackles runner. A large % of his carries were between the tackles. Kid has some of the best vision for a RB I have seen come out in a while.

CAP came out of a spread system where you rarely have to block. A large chunk of your runs are off zone reads etc. Just avg speed and quickness. Lacks the vision and patients finding the hole.

My question is are we just going ahead and pushing off CAP and assume Fozzy is going to be the one we keep? Fizzy has looked better the last 2 seasons. CAP is more physical. With CMC how many APY RBs are we going to keep. Maybe this is the year CAP shows he is actually worth a spot. Maybe he finally gets past that learning curve coming out of one of those spread systems he has been way behind coming in, in terms of blocking and watching/reading your blocks

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
