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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
