Would You Be Okay With Starting CAP?

He should have got his carries last season. That’s Rivera’s fault. It would be risky to let him be the #2 with CMC at this point. Not a big enough sample size. I do like him a lot though.

Backs get hurt all the time so I still think we need a mid round RB.

Stop saying CAP couldn't do this and that, come on, it's SHULA.    He ran hard when he was given the chance, and in a small amount of playing time last year he looks good to me.    Norv may see something there.    I think he's in the mix, but I still think we draft a RB as well.

I'm sorry but CMC isn't an every down back and if they try to make him then yeah we should probably trade up for a back this season b/c he'll be here two more years before dying. He's too small. 

He is the same size as Ladanian Tomlinson.

CAP would be perfect, frankly.  RR's loyalty to Stewart was obvious.  CAP only had 19 carries in 2017, but he averaged 5.3 yards per carry--nearly 2 yards per carry more than Stew.

We have CMC and CAP and Whittaker.  Draft a late rounder to compete with Whittaker since CMC can do all he does--and Samuel.

Nick Chubb would be better but CAP is a solid backup as #3

Sure he would, but we have many needs and limited funds and picks.  CAP and CMC is not a bad combo.

Instead of drafting Chubb, for example, imagine we drafted a CB or S instead.  A rotational DT or a #2 TE... We have NOTHING at these positions.

      I think we pick it up and then someone else ends up emerging as the QB next year and we end up cutting him in year 5 and eating it.  That would be the most on brand thing to happen.

      Film on Panthers defensive failure. Same scheme issue over and over

      Evero has his faults, but even in that loss, the team only gave up 20 points. Your post gets to the heart of the matter. We are not a talented team on defense at this time. Some of our younger guys may develop w/more playing time, but for now we have no impact players at LB or EDGE. We could really use a ball-hawking S on the back end as well. We have exactly two players that have to be accounted for on every play, D. Brown, and J.Horn. Mike Jackson has been solid. The other starters would probably be backups on most the upper echelon NFL teams. We really can't expect this team to a Top 10 defense with such a lack of talent. All things considered I've been somewhat impressed with how much better they have played this year.   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-points-per-game   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-average-team-passer-rating We are in the top 15 in terms of points allowed per game (22.6) and top 12 in defensive passer rating (88.9). And, we are doing this without a formidable PASS RUSH. Even our rushing defense has improved. We are #16 in rushing yards allowed per game (116) compared to 179 per game last season. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-rushing-yards-per-game I wouldn't cry if Evero moved on after the season, but his defense isn't the biggest worry for our team.
