Jordan Scarlett

[Proudiddy]

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.

He is a stallion among horses.  Nice

Right now I’d Go CMC, Scarlett. Let Scarlett spell CMC when needed.

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.
