Ranks the Panthers All-Time Top 5 RBs

Stats aside, who gives you the biggest hope that a play could possibly be over 50 yards..?

1. Deangelo (Please give us reason to cheer for an old timer RB)

2. Foster (before he hit the line and fell down; so 03 - 05)

3. Stewart (Please stay healthy)

4. Davis (velocity, not acceleration)

5. AJ/Biakabutuka (Those runs against the Bengals always gave me hope)

I think as far as the how good of players they are it would be.

1. Deangelo

2. Stewart

3. Davis

4. Foster

5. Lane

Though I do believe that Foster would have really been somebody special had he not had so many injuries. The broken ankle did him in unfortunately. Same goes for Biaka.

This.

Somehow I'd have to put Anthony Johnson in the top 5. He's the Panthers first 1,000 yard rusher, and had the best rushing season in Panther history until Davis' 1,400 yard campaign in 2003.

Anybody who was a Panthers fan from the beginning has to have a special place in their hearts for him.

And I'm not saying that just because I have his Jersey.

Who was the RB/KR we had in the late 90's that later went to the Falcons? I believe he wore number 20.
He didn't go to the Falcons, but I believe you are talking about Michael Bates, easily the best punt/kick returner in Panthers history, who played for the Panthers from 1996-2000 and again in 2002. He also wore 24.

    • Even if you concede that Bryce gets better as the season goes on you cant have a QB that just surrenders the first 2 games and the next 4 or 5 are iffy
    • I understand very clearly that Wilks’ approach in ‘22 wasn’t going to make us able to beat the better teams, but he got us competing and succeeding against the teams we should beat, similar teams to us. And it felt the best any stretch has felt, under Tepper.  But Tepper and the mob here had to have themselves the Offensive Minded HC, play caller guru. How’s that working out?    I know this: guys in the locker room were all about Wilks. He equaled or bested the win total of every other coach under Tepper before or since. It is a fact, and not for nothin.    FWIW I didn’t think he was gifted as a DC, when he was here as the DC. But he was excellent coaching DBs. All those jobs are different I guess, take different skill sets. I think his strength as a HC was getting people to follow him. That goes a long way.  After what has befallen this team since rejecting him, I don’t feel like a lesser fan for supporting him, I promise you that. 
    • Since you also posted the Denver game, worth pointing out thumbing do anything for three quarters after the first drive until Denver went into garbage (Bryce) time.  They got a meaningless late touchdown to make it a 14 point and give Bryce some yards.  Since we’re moving into superlatives, they weren’t competitive at all in that game.  and Bryce also got complete outshone by Bo Nix and anyone with pride would retire after that.
