I like the effort he's putting in and, personal bias aside, I'd prefer the RB that can give you a hard yard or two between the tackles when needed but, considering Rivera and Shula's man-love for Fozzy, I'll believe it when I see it.

The one thing that concerned me today about CAP was that he reportedly got stuffed for a TFL on the 1 yard line in red zone drills.  I seem to recall that happening before.  I'm just not sure he can punch it in when we need him to....

I seem to remember that being a common occurrence for any RB whose number has been called lately.  Seems like over the last 6 years, the only dependable short-yardage back we've had has been Cam.

CAP was making noise before when he got the opportunity, he just had some bad fumbles. Also, Rivera preferred Tolbert over CAP for whatever reason.

I looked at 3 sources. He's had one fumble.

I truly believe the primary dislike for CAP by many Carolina fans is based in myth.  Now they truly believe those myths, but myths they are.

Like the myth of "all his fumbles" (he has one).

Like the myth that he's always stopped at the line (he averages 4 yards per carry).

Like the myth that he can't catch (he has a 100% catch rate of the very few passes (6) that have been thrown to him and a higher yards per reception (11.5 y/r) on those passes than (*ahem*) Fozzy Whitaker (78% catch rate with 8.3 y/r at Carolina)).

Now would CAP improve on Whittaker's numbers if he got the same opportunities?  No way to tell since he hasn't been given the chance.  But in the very few opportunities that he's been given, I really don't see the logic in complaining about what he's done as a 5th round draft choice.

On this forum things get said and repeated and become fact despite the fact that the facts are easy to find. By nature and likely due to the work I've done I don't believe much of anything i read or hear until I can cinfirm it. 

It can be frustrating or entertaining depending on mood how much bad information is spread.

      Ohio State no. 8 won it all last year.  No. 6 Penn State and no. 7 Notre Dame advanced to the semi-final. This year no. 7 Ole Miss is going to win it all.

      agreed.  Lack of games/opportunity makes him a non-factor in OROTY talk.  He is just now getting the stage where there is legit film on him.  Takes awhile to really see how guys react to all the different scenarios and to find the real weak spots on a QB's play in an O.

      Oh boy how the tables have turned...the passion and extent at which you defend Shough would make even the staunchest Bryce fanboys blush.  The bold part is especially straight from their playbook.  Even if someone here were to withhold giving Shough props, it's pretty understandable as a Panthers fan.  What's quite odd is becoming the biggest stan of our most hated rival's starting QB.  I don't think even Saints fans drool over him this hard. For the record I think this talk about "stans" and "fanboys" is cringe AF and I'm admittedly being rather hyperbolic because this is exactly the kind of discourse and language you personally love to engage in and it's fun to play in the mud from time to time.  There is absolutely no world where you do not meet your own criteria of a "Super Stan" for Shough with how loosely you apply that label to people for Bryce in here.  You're like the Final Boss of Super Stans.
