Some very rosy takes for a backup RB in his first NFL game versus an elite rushing defense. 

I damn sure hope that you guys are right.

I have no real expectations. I think he will play like a dude coming off an injury who hasn’t played a down of football in 53 weeks and playing in his first ever NFL game.  Needs to get hit and needs live action game contact.  I want him to get in rhythm and get comfortable with assignments. 
 

If he balls out great but in no way am I expecting some sort of breakout performance.

You are taking it out of context. I was going there because my first post wasn't negative enough.

But you are right I'm not happy Panther football wise (why would I be?). Though, I am looking forward to seeing how he does. Because he could do my first estimate or my second. 

If you take the receptions based on bad Bryce all the throws to him will be behind the LOS, and well defended. Meanwhile they are smothering our run game so nothing great there. 

 

I was just being a smart ass, sir. 

 

Sorry.

Eeeh 

 

Rookie running backs are plug and play.  

 

That said it's the #1 rush defense

Feels like they're being extremely cautious with him.

Looked like he was grabbing/scratching at one his legs after that I think total 2nd carry he got all game. Could still be a mental thing, and for some reason we completely ignored the run game almost all day even though we were keeping it close and had some decent field position

      Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski  down there, i actually really love our 4th line.            We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade.            Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson.       As far as centers go,  Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already)     Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available.           At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center...   yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
