He was the one really bright spot for me tonight.  Holyfield did well for himself also, but I was really impressed with Scarlett.  I wasn't all that familiar with him before we drafted him, but having read up on him afterwards and seeing some of the scouting profiles and highlights of him, I said in other posts here that I saw some similarities with Marshawn Lynch.  Obviously, that would be a best-case scenario, but I was highly impressed with him tonight.  He seems to have great vision, quickness, elusiveness, great balance and strength on contact, and he always seems to find positive yards.  At worst, I think he is everything our staff hoped CAP would be when he was drafted, but he has so much more potential.

I do hope having a good relief running back this season will help preserve CMC a little longer so he can end up having a long career here without being run into the ground like Cam has been.  I am a big supporter of CMC being much tougher than people would like to make it out but lets be real, Cam Newton is as close to Superman as you can get and he has been beat to a pulp over the last few seasons.  I just do not want to see the same thing from our stud offensive player.  I feel like CMC is one of those players that HATES being on the sidelines ( he strikes me as a Luke kinda guy when it comes to work ethic on the field ).  With that said, I hope he is able to be okay with sharing the load a little and let this stud come in a pick up some of the yards ( even tough ones if needed )

 

Really hoping Scarlett pans out the rest of the pre-season and we have a nice 1-2 punch at running back.  Also, having them both on the field at the same time could end up being a freakin nightmare to defenses ( especially with Cam under center ).  I am salivating thinking of the possibilities.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
