Our running game going into next season, better or worst?

Take away Cam and we had the 31st ranked rushing attack in the league, now that the draft and major free agency is over what is your confidence level in our rushing attack going into next season?

 

We lost Norwell, we didn’t add a single guard or rb of note (even though this class was stacked), Kalil is on his last lag, I don’t believe Mccaffrey nor any RB in our roster is true feature back and to top it off I think Cam will have to carry the load again.

 

On the brightside, our receivers are better which should open up things a tiny bit more, and Stewart who is a fullback at this point was a complete waste of down last season, so I think whoever takes his carries will be better. And maybe this forces Ron to turn us into a pass first team, which in today’s nfl is the smart thing to do.

I'm with sanjay's alter-ego on this one @Ace_Aladdin. I'm actually really excited about a CAP/CMC combination with a fit Samuel and Moore to fit into the screen game. If we manage to use the short passing and run game to develop deep plays - if could very efficient. Also think Moton has the potential to make us forget about Norwell quite quickly.

Tough to make this call in April when there are still several more than serviceable RBs available. 

Agreed.

1st of all CAP will have his opportunity to take the reins from Stewart.  I also think Armah might have a bigger role.  Probably fill the role Tolbert had when he was with SD.

Though the draft may have had decent players available I think we addressed our more pressing needs especially our first 4 picks.

I have been looking for a RB in the free agency market and RoaringRiot has hit it on the head. Orleans Barkwa looks to be perfect for us. In the next couple of weeks after signing him won't hurt our comp picks next year this would be a good fit.

    • I could use less of Steve Smith's opinion in my life.  
    • It probably would be. Given that most 6th and 7th rounders aren't NFL game day material except on the Panthers, the pick might improve us slightly with a drafted player, but I'd like to see us actually be able to open up the field. I do think some of our offensive problem stem from defenses aren't afraid of Bryce's arm. They cover a short field and that makes life a lot easier for them.  If it doesn't work though, unless we get rid of the scouting department and whatever drafting algorithm Dave is making us use, it won't really matter anyway. 
    • I think the Baker/Darnold thing has been overblown. QBs that struggle with the team that drafts them and go on to find success elsewhere often do end up going to multiple new teams before they figure it out and/or find the right situation. It just so happened that we traded for both guys in back-to-back years and neither player had quite figured it out yet. Baker, I think, needed more time and a better supporting cast. Darnold, I think, benefitted from a year on the bench in San Francisco a ton. I don't really have any ill will towards either of them. I think they both came here with the best intentions after coming from difficult circumstances; unfortunately the Panthers were - and still are, it seems - also in the process of figuring things out.
