Build up the oline and then we will be fine with serviceable running backs.Double Trouble only means double trouble killing our cap space with bloated contacts and little production.DG has started to purge the problem with the, but a soon to be 31 year old back and the other with gimpy ankles isn't on our future.

I think most likely Stewart is traded. DWill may stick around some way or another.

stewart's contract really isn't all that tradeable.

 

we're stuck with a very high priced RB who missed 7 games last year and who will miss at least 7 weeks this year and might end up on IR.

To be fair, when they were drafted we were running Foxy's system which needed great depth at RB. I think the extension of Stewart was meant as a precursor to moving or cutting D-will but now with Stewart's ankles that put a dent in that plan.

Now I think something will happen this next offseason. What happens I think depends on this season and how it shakes out and how the team and D-will perform.

But I do believe that one if not both will be gone after this season.

 

 

Not sure about the Fox's system thing, and it needing more depth than any other system.

 

I feel it was more of a "can't miss" pick than anything else.  RB's, compared to WR's and DT's are much easier to draft and say "hey look, I nail all my first round picks".

 

Hurney did this with LB's as well.

I'm sure they would love to trade their competence in winning games with the KCs and the Carolinas for their competence when it comes to the running game if they had the chance

 

8 of the top 11 teams in rushing last year won 10 games or more and one won the Super Bowl

The minute both of them are gone all these motherfugers that have put so much effort into defending them are going to automatically get 100% behind the idea they're gone as if they knew the whole time we had no direction with them on the team and conveniently forget everything they said about giving them more carries and how much the running game would help Cam and so on

 

The Panthers will do what the Panthers will do, I have no say in what they do, so why bitch about it? (other than to have fun with it)  Never get attached to any players...too much.

In Foxy's system we were almost always in the top 10 in rushing attempts and ran the ball at about a 2/1 ratio over passing.

 

You need depth because if you are going to run the ball that much running backs are going to wear down or get hurt.

 

But you need great running backs as evidenced by the difference and effectiveness of our running game between Davis to Foster to D-Will/Jstew.

Yea and three of them ran an offense that everybody hated watching us run (and are so glad to have heard us abandon using even part-time) and the worst rushing team out of the 8 of them won the Superbowl

And then last year the very worst team in the league in rushing won the superbowl

      Ekwonu doesn’t get dog walked under 2 minutes in the 4th, we drive, kick a FG and win

      How do you expect him to step up in the pocket when Ickey is being pushed to the spot you want him to be. Stills don’t tell the entire picture.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
