Everyone knows we need a legit backup for CMC, what we don’t know is who will it be.

Seems to be between Scarlett and Holyfield, have been pulling for Holyfield but really liked what I saw of JS against the Bills. 

Both guys seem to have a similar skill set, both are powerful and can move a pile, both can catch the ball.

So who wins the job?

I really hope Scarlett from what I saw. 

CMC

Scarlett

CAP

Holyfield

FB - Armah(TE slot)

PS: Bonnafon 

If Holyfield or Bonnafon really show out the next two games though I’d be willing to drop CAP(I’m Sorries!)

Bonnafon hasn’t overly impressed me yet over what I’ve seen of Holyfield.

Scarlett looked excellent in all three phases though and using him to spell CMC during the regular season could create a nightmare for defenses. 

I will give Hurney credit if Scarlett shows out. Especially for a 5th round. He looked like a 2-3 last week. 

I really hope Scarlett is 2 behind CMC if he plays against New England. Or gets the start of CMC is rested.

Holyfield is still on the roster right? I can’t find anything contrary to that but... 

I really liked what he showed in the first game. 

Holyfield is still a Panther, as far as I know. He was impressive week one. Scarlett was impressive week two. Big game for both backs Thursday.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
