Whatever... You're obviously just trying to piss me off.

I mean what offense would want to gain 12.6 ypc??

You need to educate yourself on how often we use our fullback. Even if we picked him up, he would be a waste of a roster spot because he can't also play tight end/special teams. Reserving a roster spot for a fullback-only player when we only use a fullback in like 10% (random stat) of our plays is ridiculous.

Not to mention, there isn't only one way to generate offense in this league. We clearly have a different idea of what constitutes an effective offense these days. He no fit our scheme.

What if he can be used as a closer?

I agree he does not fit our system and have no use on the field in the first half. But we sucked at protecting a lead last year. So a FB that can take out a LB to give our RBs 1-2 extra yards on runs in obvious run the clock situation might not be a bad idea. There is a big difference between 3rd and 4 and 3rd and 7 as we all know from the Fox days...

Sure, it is a luxury to waste a roster spot. And maybe he is not even that guys. But I think it is an option to consider.

You do realize we aren't a power running team anymore, right? We use two TE sets, instead of one te and one fb.

Yes, thats why I say this is for second half while protecting a lead, something we sucked at last year, only.

I am not proposing changing our offense, I am just proposing that have another option is special situation might be worth one roster spot.

    • I definitely respect your opinion more than Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony (whom I just watched on their show, all saying NOBODY wants to get the Hornets in the post-season). You win.
    • For all the good feelings about Bryce Young, when you read between the lines, it's what DC says and doesn't say that makes us know that Bryce hasn't necessarily been the supercomputer that they thought he would be. This season, Bryce has to make a tangible progression on the field. "A big part of it is being able to operate at the line of scrimmage — not in the huddle — when we want to, and he’s certainly capable of that," Canales said about Young. "It’s not solely on him. It’s a group that’s pretty young. You have to trust all the guys to go up there, communicate verbally or nonverbally and execute what we’re doing. We’ve made huge strides in that regard. His ability to alter things based on what they’re giving you will give us another edge, which he’s continued to grow and had some great examples down the stretch where he identified things they were doing, got us to the right check and capitalized on some plays. Want to see him do that more when it’s appropriate. We don’t need to be changing things just to change it." The implications, perhaps insinuations, are pretty evident. Bryce is just going to have to do better. "And then for Bryce, it’s the identification of early on the cues that the defense are giving us, to be able to eliminate parts of your progression before the ball’s even snapped. That happens with time. I’ve seen quarterbacks really own and master, which allows them to play lightning fast." Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. But, of course, not everyone picks things up at the same rate. Bryce's pace has left Canales wanting for more. During the coming season, I don't believe that it will be good enough for Bryce to start putting things together in December, evidence of the light switch being on is going to have to show itself in September. Basically, it's really the moment that we've all been waiting for, the one that we thought should've happened earlier, the one that brings Bryce's accountability in the spotlight. On an off note, perhaps to that end, we should consider the possible implications upon the draft, but that's another story. Basically, it's time for Bryce to sh¡t or get off the pot. https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-panthers-dave-canales-holds-nothing-back-on-bryce-young-in-new-interview
    • Wouldn’t mind Tyson. Definitely prefer him to Sadiq.
