My career goal is to be one of the greatest running backs in the NFL. You definitely have to be versatile today—run, block and catch. I have respect for all my fellow running backs throughout the league. I look at their game to see if I can learn from them. I respect Minnesota’s Adrian Peterson just because he’s a beast. In the off-season, I met St. Louis’ Steven Jackson at the Nike Sports Complex. Given his experience and knowledge, it was great just being able to work out with him, talking and hanging out. He’s now one of the many players I keep up with.

We would be wildly more successful running the football if our coaching staff actually used dwill for the outside toss plays that require speed and evasiveness, and used jstew for all of the power plays through the middle. I still don't get how they run dwill up the gut so much even if he gets stopped for a loss or a minimal gain 90% of the time.

* although I admit there would be a degree of predictability if we used them exclusively for those purposes. But still, I would like to see Dwill utilized in more outside runs instead of inside.

The idea of dwill up the middle is speed. In the open field I'd take dwill over stewy jsut because he is faster and quicker. Stewy is for short/tough yardage, with Dwill you're trying to set him up with an open field so he can break away. Once Dwill is free he is much harder to catch than stewy.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.

      I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
