Who is the Panthers 3rd string halfback?

The Bucs wore Dunn down last year but he might be able to do a fill in role for you guys. I'm sure he has some left in the tank. Your guys problem would be having the money to sign Dunn and your draft picks. That is unless something happens with Peppers soon.

If we need our 3rd string RB, we aren't doing anything anyway.

Either Williams or Stewart could go for 25+ carries a game if they had to for a few weeks.

Yeah, you saw that in the Green Bay game. Stewart was cramping up so rather risk injury they just went to DWill the whole game. He got what? 4 TDs?

Well, I know it seemed like Stewart came out of the draft from a injury and was hurt a few times during the year. DeAngelo isn't going to pop out 4 touchdowns every game like you put in that instance. Williams IMO is the best halfback in the NFL talent wise but all it takes is one good shot, or one fat lineman falling on his knee to end his season.

We have the luxury of having two starting RB's on our team, either of which could be an old school 30 carry a game type of RB.

Obviously that isn't ideal, but it can be done if needed. And yea he got 4TD's, was awesome :biggrin:

Yea, I built alot of respect for DeAngelo... even before the MNF game. I don't deny someone's talent if they back it up like he did. DeAngelo opened alot of eyes but still gets a knock from people for some reason... when you have guys like LT who are constantly hurt year after year and fail in comparison of D in the same year. Guess thats why NFL fans bash me for saying DeAngelo is the best halfback in the NFL.

Another thing to note, the guy fumbled 0 times all year.

Trying to figure out who it is with Nick Goings gone. Wondering so if one of your backs get hurt, who will be the spell guy?

The first time we play the sucks you'll see our 3rd string back the entire second half. Double trouble will be taking a break as the game will be well in hand.

oddly enough the last time williams got around 25 carries he scored 4tds against the giants

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
