According to Grok: 

In the 2024 NFL season, only one team had two running backs who each rushed for at least 1,000 yards: the Detroit Lions, with Jahmyr Gibbs (1,412 yards) and David Montgomery (1,077 yards). 
No idea if this is true or an AI hallucination.

are you saying 1000 yards the same season on same team?  Or 1000 in general because what the lions did last year was def not common and thats not what we have here.

Good question. According to Grok again: 

Only one NFL team, the Detroit Lions, has two running backs on their current 2025 roster—Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery—who each rushed for at least 1,000 yards in the 2024 NFL season.

Lions

Texans

Bucs

Cowboys, kc and skins are within 100 yards of having 2

I quit counting there

 

so yeah its not some rarefied feat

 

I think this is people viewing the claim as two different things.  

Texans got multiple guys that have hit 1k.  Heck, the Falcons got multiple guys.

The Panthers specifically have 2 that happened to do it in the year 2024

right but other teams have multiple 1000 yard rushers from previous seasons, 1000 yards isnt really the benchmark that it once was 25ish years ago

According to the numbers you would lose that bet because it's just one.

https://www.nfl.com/stats/player-stats/category/rushing/2024/reg/all/rushingyards/desc

We haven't had two 1k backs since 2009. I would highly doubt that happens anytime soon.

It would require a significant increase in rushing attempts and efficiency. Not to mention a big improvement defensively.

That 2009 season we totaled 525 rushing attempts and also were ranked in the Top 10 in Points and Yardage defense.

We had 410 rushing attempts in 2024 in 17 games. 

Taking credit for Dowdle as a "1k back" would expand that criteria to literally any team with a current roster RB that has run for 1k yards in the NFL. That likely would be a wider pool with that criteria.

Hey, at least we are ahead of the Saints who are all in on tank for Arch.  If we don't sweep the Saints this year, it will be the ultimate humiliation...losing to a team in full tank mode.

Nah, losing to the Falcons at home during their Petrino "I quit" season is worse. Not by much though.

The current coach has not been known for operating a run heavy offense either.

That too.

I am very happy to have signed Dowdle(needed a little time to warm up to it, as I was hoping for a draft RB) but the visions of Double Trouble 2.0 needed to be tempered quite a bit. I definitely don't think we will see anything like that. For all the reasons listed.

I had people losing their minds about me calling the 2024 roster the worst in franchise history and a very clear last place in the NFL prior to Game 1 last year.

I get being optimistic but we have to also be realistic. Are there arguments for us to be above #32? Yes, although I disagree. But to say we are anything outside the bottom 2 or 3 is bananas. 

 

Well you were obviously wrong.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By Icege · Posted

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
