I find this article by Mike Florio pretty funny.

Biggest difference our backs are a lot better, with Sproles being better than Tolbert the only exception.

Yes ours are much better. What I was pointing out to him was the similar role and type of runners they are.

[CRA]

I see no difference on our backs compare to NO.

Dwill:Thomas, Stew:Ingram and Tolbert:Sproles.

NO will try to feature Ingram a bit more this year. And Tolbert can give us a receiving back like Sproles.

Ugh. I will repeat. If we keep Stew and Williams we will be paying 2 featured RB money. What we are investing is what is drastically different. NO wouldn't be doing that....they would be paying RBs appropriate money for the same ground production

[csx]

As a number #1, yea fuging right. Thats crazy homerism or just more (nevermind your a mod) but you get the point.

It's pretty much true

[carolina-chuck]

Ok Tolbert likely couldn't be a superstar #1.

DWill and Stew could IMO.

Star RB? Possibly no, but Tolbert could def be a 1000 yd 10+ tds. He has shown he can be effective when gets the chance to do so.

In 2010 (15 G, 4 GS): 735 yds 11tds

2011 (15 G, 1 GS): 498 yds 8tds, 54rec 433yds 2tds

Just let it go dude.

I've given up trying to explain it.

Heres some distrubing facts for some of you. Please keep in mind hindsight is 20/20

When we signed D-will nobody-

1nobody had a clue that Cam would be the passing threat that he is.

2.Steve Smith was not commited to being on this team at that point either

3.Greg Olsen was not on the team

4.Jeremy Shockey was not on the team

5.There was no gurantee Lafell would step up the way he did.

(these points are made to show you that we had no gurantee of being such a passing threat of a team and wanted insurance in such case)

6.Mike Tolbert was not on this team, nor did we know he'd sign so cheap.

These can't be proved as a fact but any reasonable minds would agree

-When we signed D-will, no free agents worth a poo wanted to come here and we would have had to grossly overpay those that already got overpaid in free agency to join this team.

-Nobody knows if Stewart will re-sign or what he will cost either.

Different team has different system and players. NO has Brees. We dnt, we have Cam. Totally different Qbs. Brees doesn't need star backs. Cam is a second year player who grew faster than anyone had thought, but hes still learning everyday. It would be wise to have Stew and Dwill takes off some weight off Cam's shoulders.

Me too. Everyone has different opinion.

All of those are some great reasons to keep some cap space in order to fill those holes should they arise. In the NFL free agents will go wherever somebody pays them unlike the NBA. Carolina has never had trouble signing free agents that they wanted to obtain.

[Kurb]

Shockey was on the team.

Pesky facts.

Shock was signed just before the lockout started.

.

yes because we so often go after high profile free agents. The biggest free agent we have targeted is Ken Lucas since Hurney came here.

[panther4life]

Shockey was on the team.

Pesky facts.

Shock was signed just before the lockout started.

I'll concede that but how can you reasonably dispute the other facts?

Agree. Add the fact that Dwill would've been snatched up quickly by a team like Denver last year.

[carolina-chuck]

I guess y'all mind as well start complaining why we drafted Stew in the first too then. Yeah it's as dumb as that
