Would You Be Okay With Starting CAP?

Rather than wasting money or wasting or reaching a pick, this guy was drafted and accepted as Stew's replacement. Drafting another RB would amount to the same thing and personally if the first round has that many good backs, maybe teams will go that direction and leave something open like a Derwin James. Unfortunately Seattle may be the landing spot for James. I don't see the purpose of repeating a process we repeated a few years ago with getting Artis Payne. He needs to start. He had solid stats last year and has been solid throughout to the point that we should roll the dice with him.

No, I would rather start our starting running back.  You know, the guy with over 1000 all purpose yards last season....

CMC is our feature back now...let's stop trying to find someone to put as the 1.  He reminds me so much of LT its scary.

CAP couldn't crack the line-up before CMC was here, either. Couldn't outplay Fozzy or Tugboat Tolbert. Let that sink in.

CAP has grabbed some nice paychecks (at least compared to us normal folks) and it's probably time to cut him loose and let him either go to pasture or someone else's RB committee. 

In limited appearances he had quite a bit of pop, sometimes that was the pop he put on a defender, sometimes it was the sound of the ball popping out of his arms and back into play. 

In the end, I wouldn't let Fozzy go to keep CAP on the roster.

CMC starts, I'm fine with CAP playing second fiddle this year but should still spend a pick on a back (no earlier than the 3rd) because CAP is gone after next season.

    • No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad 
    • I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle. 
    • Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
