This game made it official. CAP ran with purpose and authority along with the prettiest juke of the preseason. Its nice to see a player progress each year, unlike funchess who remains his stagnant poo self. CAP needs to be on the 53.

CMC can take care of all of the fozzy screen catches plus more, so theres no reason for him anymore. With Stew looking slow and stiff, CAP is the closest thing to a bruising back we have. I'm sure Ron will make the decision a lot harder than it should be though when Fozzy has a good 4th preseason game in garbage time.

Fozzy has been a decent change of pace back for the panthers over the years. Now that we have CMC the only purpose for Fozzy is his backup. If CMC gets injured then we could re-sign Fozzy otherwise I don't believe we need him.

 

I do believe we need Cap. He is basically JStews backup. Stewart has a history of injuries, is older and has a high salary for his position. I'm not saying they should cut him this season but we should have insurance if he gets injured. CAP is that guy. He can possibly be Stewart's replacement and be our #2 RB behind CMC.

I have NEVER understood the hype for Fozzy. He had ONE GOOD PLAY against the Cards, and nothing else. He has never even been a good receiving back for us. I can't even count on one hand the amount of plays he's made for us. Dude is the definition of a jag who can be easily replaced.

To this point, I'm really wondering who makes the roster. If it was me making the choice right now , I'd say

HBs in order of starting position : McCaffrey, Stewart, Artis-Payne

FBs :  Young , Armah 

I think its worth it to keep Armah on the active roster and get rid of a 4th running back

You may have a point since they are using Young as a running back at times. I think they see Armah is too valuable to cut but needs a little more time to grow.

Fozzy has multiple roles(backup RB who can catch passes and play special teams). That is why he always sticks around. If CAP contributed to special teams, it would be a no brainer to keep him over Fozzy.

I agree. I appreciate all he's done, but just like Tolbert, it's time to move on

This is one thing I personally believe Gettlemen was good at. He  would cut you in a heart beat if you weren't producing where as it seems our owner and current GM wants to be loyal to players and give them money to stay regardless of production or age. I understand both sides of thier methods but the way I see it is the NFL is a buisness and it's all about winning. You can't win giving big contracts to old unproductive players.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
