Carolina works out four RBs

Only for precautionary reasons, I guess.

 

The Panthers are likely doing due diligence and being cautious, but this is a situation worth keeping an eye on. None of the four running backs the Panthers worked out are much good, though they are quality options as emergency depth. Former Jacksonville Jaguars RB Jalen Parmele, intriguing back Kahlil Bell, former Denver Broncos quality depth backup Lance Ball, and veteran Brandon Jackson were all worked out by the Panthers.

Stewart appears to be having some ankle issues again,remember reading this on twitter via the Panthers feed. That could be he only reason that we are looking to sign a RB. If this is true,then it doesnt look like he may ever be healthy enough to last a full season. Had high hopes for him as a featured back,but this may never come to pass.

He had ankle issues after coming back with no off season to speak of. Do you expect everything to be hunky dory? TD gets acupuncture on his knee every week and it seems to be swollen to the size of a softball. Nothing to see here.

I actually don't think that is the case.

This was tweeted by Aaron Wilson (@RavensInsider) earlier today, we signed Smith two days ago.

Workouts are only held on Tuesdays. We signed Armond to PS two days ago, which was Tuesday.

#Panthers worked out 3 RBs on Tues: Brandon Jackson, Lance Ball, and Jalen Parmele. RB Kahlil Bell visited.

7:27am - 28 Nov 13

Not trying to sound disrespectful, but do you really think that we are working guys out to replace a guy next season?

 

That doesn't make much sense when we are in the thick of the playoff race.

To sound disrespectful, what I think is that my post was, was nothing more than a thought of what could be a reason or one of many, as to why we're working out 4 RB's when we are in the thick of the playoff race.

And you asked do I really think that we are working guys out to replace a guy next season? Yes I think that it makes perfect sense. If we can find someone with similar attributes to the player we'd like to release, cut or trade, why not. What if Stew is still hurting and we're looking for someone to fill in so that we can put him (Stew) on IR.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Yards a game works better over a longer period of time as well. Averages always work out over the long run. The smaller the sample size the easier it is to skew. Also opponents matter more when the size is small. Player 1 lights up 2 bad defenses in 4 starts vs Player 2 playing 10 games vs multiple defenses. It hard to make it apples to apples how it currently sits. Remember during Bryce’s little run last year how annoyed you were when people were pulling Bryce’s starts from week 9 on vs the whole season.

      Someone else claimed I said EVERY.  Literally in my post breaking it down it gave Bryce TDs per game.   Shough however has the majority in his favor if just looking at starts. whats subjective about comp %, yards, QB ratings and turnovers?  Now I guess the argument one might make off them could be subjective.  But all I’m saying is statistically as a starter he has been better this year overall.  I don’t think Shough is great.  I think he is impressive based on the situation.  2nd rounder stepping in on a bad team.   And he like so many other QBs…..serves as little red flag going off about what we are doing here offensively.

      Player A - 2 starts.  200 yards in each start. He averages 200 yards a game.  Player B - 1 start.  Throws for 400 yards.  Comes in another random game and has 1 pass attempt on a Hail Mary to end the game that goes incomplete.   Now given the random game he appeared for a snap, he averages 200 yards a game. Thats why you isolate starts. If you are talking starter vs someone who began as a backup.  Simple made up numbers/situations to illustrate the point.
