Todman is younger and more productive. If Todman is indeed the better player, do we cut Fozzy? Or do we cut Reaves? Or do we keep all three in addition to both Stewart and the RB we likely draft to replace DeAngelo as our #2?

kick return average over last two seasons combined:

26.31 avg - Jordan Todman (64 kick returns for 1,684 yds)

25.33 avg - Percy Harvin (33 kick returns for 836 yds)

22.50 avg - Fozzy Whittaker (40 kick returns for 900 yds)

NFL career rushing yards per carry:

4.1 ypc - Jordan Todman (111 carries for 450 yds)

3.7 ypc - Fozzy Whittaker (60 carries for 224 yds)

2.5 ypc - Darrin Reaves (31 carries for 78 yds)

2014 rushing yards per carry:

5.8 ypc - Jordan Todman (32 carries for 186 yds)

4.5 ypc - Fozzy Whittaker (32 carries for 145 yds)

2.5 ypc - Darrin Reaves (31 carries for 78 yds)

Jordan Todman, Yards from Scrimmage

2013 (age 23) - 372 (rush 256/ rec 116)

2014 (age 24) - 384 (rush 186/ rec 198)

Fozzy Whittaker, Yards from Scrimmage

2013 (age 24) - 234 (rush 79/rec 155)

2014 (age 25) - 205 (rush 145/rec 60)

Darrin Reaves, Yards from Scrimmage

2014 (age 21) - 109 (rush 78/rec 31)

NBC:

“Jordan is a veteran running back who has had some success in this league,” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. “We think he has some return skills and we are always looking to be good in that area. At running back, he brings versatility. He is stout and physical enough to run the ball up inside, but he’s got the quickness and speed to get outside to the corner.”

The Jaguars didn’t tender him an offer this offseason, setting him free into the market. As a result, he won’t cost the Panthers anything in terms of next year’s comp pick formula, making it a risk-free add.

I doubt this guy would get Fozzy cut. Fozzy is on a 2 year deal. Why sign Fozzy for 2 years and replace him a few weeks later?

 

I do think we are loading the stables because one or more of these running backs will go down. Todman looks like a legit return man and special teams player. It feels like we are filling out or roster with more veterans this year. Feels like there won't be as much room for undrafted long shots.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
