I felt like he had one of the more impressive offensive rookie performances in recent memory. Seems like such a balanced back, shifty and has a surprising amount of power. 

Would love to see both he and CMC on the field together some.

Yeah I am the captain of the Scarlett fan club. You need to review my posts and tweets. SCARLETT SZN IS HERE

I agree and we need some two back sets, especially considering the threat CMC poses. It could present a ton of opportunities and mismatches, plus shore up the O-line.

I really like Scarlett and believe he can be a great compliment to CMC, but with Ron preferring vets and CMC still getting the ball so much, I doubt he plays a lot this season 

He's uh

 

One of three Halfbacks on our team. 

Unless you think Bonnafon is gonna exclusively get all the relief carries idk how you think he won't at least get a shot.

I just doubt he gets a lot of carries this year, similar to the reason we let CJ Anderson go last season. He will get some carries, but CMC will still be a workhorse who rarely leaves the field.

He's a rookie, you can't hype him up too much but you can't deny his burst either. One thing I can tell about him is he has a knack for not going down at first contact. That's something the Panthers can absolutely make use of if you've watched our offense struggle at times the last few years.

also let's not forget that after the drop into int in the Atlanta game he was in the Doghouse.

I strongly believe that's the reason more than anything else. C.J. cost us that game and we never trusted his hands after that. And in our system our HBs are going to need to catch a lot.

Scarlett has shown he can catch and make plays after the catch. I think that will get him touches.

I don't think cam particularly trusted him and maybe just didn't like him. Heard several people talk about him just being an odd guy. Never really fit in anywhere. I don't think cam really much even looked his way when CJ was on the field, esp. after that drop. That was big.

That's why I didn't think it was a big deal when we cut him. Didn't use him. Also the offense was way too limited when he was on. They wanted hybrid players that didn't limit what they were going to do on the field and took guesswork from the other D.

Truth is, CJ should never have been brought in, but he was just in case what they wanted to do schematically didn't work and they needed to go a more traditional route. What they wanted to do was working and it made CJ unnecessary.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      with arm strength people often get stuck on the distance  arm strength in the NFL is moreso measured in speed / velocity .which of course is how long does it take for  the ball to travel from the time of release until it reaches its target ? & u beat world class speed with more speed on the ball...just saying

      No GM hits 100%. I'm well aware. But what a GM has to do is look at the roster, what's available, and future contracts and go from there. XL was a one season wonder in college. He has speed. Who cares. He body catches and his hands are bricks. Speed doesn't matter when you don't actually have the ball. There were other receivers available with better resumes. XL was a project. Fitts loved projects. You don't have the luxury of projects when you just traded away DJ for a QB. 1st round WRs need to contribute now.  Brooks was a luxury RB pick we didn't have the luxury to make. Who cares if Dallas was going to pick him. We had holes all over our defense. Chuba was coming off a fresh contract. We just inked 150m interior line and then centered it by moving a guard to center that had suffered 2 season ending injuries. The most critical area on our line was being held together by a bandaid and a prayer. No surprise when it didn't work.   Wallace is getting better but Wilson was sitting there waiting to be taken. DPOY for college football right there for the taking. That was a gimme pick. If you're going to take a risk on an injured player, the 3rd round for Wilson made a whole lot more sense at a position we were rest stop TP thin at.  4th round and on aren't going to be heavy contributors unless you're lucky.  He did well on the trade for Jackson. Coker, I believe he offered the largest guarantee. He actually got more than some late round picks make.  Those 1st 3 picks, IMO, were straight up whiffs.  Looking back at Fitterer's picks, I think he tried to plug holes because we had a ton of them. Problem was, he wasn't very good at it and he loved RAS scores and developmental players with a coach that couldn't develop a Polaroid. He tried to do too much. He was impatient. His other problem was he panicked during the draft and couldn't read or understand the flow of how drafts tend to go. DJ Johnson was the prime example. We needed an edge rusher and he jumped in at the end of the run instead of starting it.  Morgan's first year looked exactly like Fitts to me. Lots of projects.  2nd year looks better.  We'll see how 3rd year goes. FA also plays into all of this as well but that's a whole different topic of how it played out and planning with regard to drafting.

      I judge how good our players are by the way a defense covers them. XL draws no special coverage. Coker on the other hand always has a man over the top. It still doesn’t matter. You be the judge.
