Muhsin Muhammad: Mike Shula doesn't know how to use a fullback

That's kind of harsh since we don't even have a FB on the active roster right now. Also, Tolbert was more of a RB/FB than a true FB. Hell, he's a full time RB for the Bills right now.

It was in reference to the possibility of bringing up Alex Armah.

Moose believes a strong - and properly used - fullback is essential to an effective power run game. He questions whether Shula can implement it.

He doesn't know how to use McCaffrey 

That's been said a time or two as well.

Someone on here - I forget who - said the offense isn't really "evolved". They've just plugged Christian McCaffrey into the plays they used to run with Fozzy Whittaker. Haven't seen enough to substantiate if that's true, but it made me think.

Considered starting a thread but don't want to without first validating who said it (to give credit where it's due).

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
