Favorite All-Time Panther RB Duo.

Davis really gave us that "keep pounding" mantra in that we just wore down teams that year and foster was a wonderful compliment. Watching him make plays in 03 was magical.

Davis/Foster got us to the superbowl so I guess I'd have to go with them.

Double Trouble is far more talented and fun to watch but right now it's just a tragedy since they're on such a crappy team.

I feel bad for some of the fans that came in at the tail end of Deshaun's run here, that guy was truly an amazing change of pace back. Him and Davis were an absolute force to be reckoned with in '03. I remember when Fos came in against the Colts and absolutely took over that game that year.

no mention of foster/williams?

I'll mention them in the fact that the coaching staff just let DeShaun Foster flop around like a fish out of water while holding Williams back...

I love Foster/Davis in '03 but overall Stewart and Williams really dominated games.

I would. Foster is a much better running back on 3rd downs and when used in a passing offense.

It's true that Foster only started struggling once Fox tried to make him a power back (something D'lo would've been more suited for anyways ironically enough) but Davis in his prime was a monster, he'd run over absolutely anybody. He even did it here. He had so many long runs here because as soon as he got past the DL, there were very few LB's, S's, and CB's who could tackle him 1 on 1. He may not have had breakaway speed once he got there, but in a way I think that benefited us, because with him constantly breaking away for 30 and 40 yard runs, instead of 70 and for a TD, it allowed us to keep possession of the ball and control the clock which we like to do oh so much.

We never really got to see what Foster was capable of. Injuries destroyed him. Plus, didn't tear his ACL or something like that his rookie year?

I think that's what happened, but the best memory of Foster his rookie year was him taking his first career touch for a long rushing TD (although it was preseason..)

    • I think Bryce balls out again and the Panthers win in a close one.  Panthers will have a defender shadow CMC the whole game so I expect he'll be contained to under 100 yards.  
    • yeah, Steve was basically like on any actual topic that approached his flaws/problems.....89 went with the long winded, try to sound like a wise man strategy of just basically just pleading the 5th (and sprinkling in the idea that others could of been wrong or wrong too).   also, in terms of the assaults and stuff like that....it feels like old 89, I feel has sort of forgotten his well-documented confessions and apologies about that aspect and era of his and was trying to re-write his story/image in hindsight.   And in all honesty, it seemed like a PR move on the twitter/cheating stuff also attempting to play himself as not the bad guy some think with the intentional vague suggestions. and the Pivot and all these athlete moves to basically take the reigns and power from traditional outlets exposes they have just as bad as flaws if not more often than the traditional media folks.  I mean I do like the free form long talk when dudes are telling stories but all this stuff is largely flawed and controlled PR often. 
    • Sadly, I agree and I’m a huge Melo fan. Might be time to ship him out. Don’t want to make the same mistakes the Pels did. They should’ve gotten rid of Zion two years ago.
