Tolbert on what his job will be

"I'd like to think that I'm the missing piece," Tolbert said. "The offense was ranked high (seventh) in total offense, and I'd like to think that I'm the missing piece to push us all the way to number one.

"Our potential is unlimited."

Tolbert said he knows what his job will entail but would only said it would include "a lot of fullback stuff" and "a lot of different stuff."

Tolbert on what he can provide for the Panthers

"If you're a ballplayer, you're going to find a way to get on the field," Tolbert said. "I've always prided myself on being able to catch the ball well and doing whatever I need to do to stay on the field – pass catching, blocking, running, whatever.

"You never know what's going to happen. Guys get hurt every day – Stew might get hurt or I might get hurt of DeAngelo. I'm not wishing that on anybody, but it's always better to have three than two or four than three."

Tolbert on being close to home

"Being this close to home helps," Tolbert said. "I don't have to buy as many plane tickets like when I was on the West Coast. People can just drive up."

Tolbert on knowing a lot of the coaching staff

"That had a big impact," Tolbert said. "It's just familiarity, coming somewhere where I knew people already. That just made it comfortable and easier to come here than elsewhere."

Tolbert on Cam Newton and the Goal Line

"You can't forget about Cam. He's the ultimate weapon – run, pass - he can do it all," Tolbert said. "If he's willing to give them up, I'm willing to take them. They call me the vulture for a reason.

"Some people say I have a knack for it. When I see a white line, I just make sure I get across it with the ball."

I wanted to jump through my tv today when they were talking about the Tolbert signing & Cam finally having a weapon at rb to ease some pressure.

Who was saying that? I heard nothing of the sort. I heard a lot of stupidity about trading one of our backs, but nothing that ignored them.

It wasn't Polian or Wiley. It was either the host or the guy beside Polian. They mentioned the Tolbert signing & I heard a comment of how it would give Cam a running game or something. I'm pretty sure it was a shot at or disrespect of double trouble but I could have misunderstood the statement.

Actually it was Polian that said it!

The thing I like about the Tolbert signing:

He's so versatile, so when he lines up in the backfield you don't know if it's as a FB, H-Back, or a 2nd RB, as in how Stew and D-Lo would line up in the backfield at the same time sometimes, so defenses don't know what to expect.

Also when Stew & D-Lo was in the game together there was a big chance the Option was coming, now when Tolbert is in the backfield with either one, you never know when it's coming.

      It is like when you go to da buffet at da Golden Corral and dey have all dis food and you get the same thing every time.   There is probably something you would like more, but you go to da same ol racks and get da same ol food every time.  Not sure why I am writing in trailer park dialect, but hey, watcha gonna dooo.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By MHS831 · Posted

      If we don't go OT, we will regret it.  What bothers me?  Are we going to get a starting-caliber OT at 19?  I think the draft is solid at OT, and the more I read up and watch video, the more I watch Lomu, the more I want him.   I see Freeling as a RT who needs some work in run blocking (since we need to run first, maybe not a good fit) and I see Proctor ending up as a Guard.  After Lomu (assuming Mouigia and fanu are gone), I think we wait until round 2.  In round 2, there are about 3-4 I like (Zuhn--good pass blocker and VERY underrated right now; Tiernan is a very good pass blocker as is Miller from Clemson, but both are not good in the run game.  Max Ixxxxx from Ariz St is impressive too---technically, there is not a of difference in these second tier guys--good in pass pro, need work in the run game.   If we wait until round 2 for an OT, we probably need to sign Nijman and start him early.   I almost think this is what we should do if Lomu is gone.  There is a big dropoff after him, imo, and I think we'd get better value if a stud ILB or edge is there.  Someone like TJ Parker Clemson makes sense. If Lomu is gone, trading back might be the play.
