Panthers First Round Pick could be an RB not named Gurley

 

"Obviously, Todd is a great player. But I’m not 230 (pounds). We’re both fast. He’s a bigger back. I feel like that shouldn’t take away. He’s considered the special back and the rest of the class, especially me, we’re just another group of guys. I don’t find that fair because I feel like I’m a special back. I feel like I can do it all,” Gordon recently said, via U-T San Diego.

“I’m a playmaker. I can run the ball up the middle. I can run it outside. I can run the ball from the gun. I can do it all. I can catch the ball and make some plays; I’ve done it. … I think guys just automatically assume because I’m not 230 and I’m not straight bulldozing guys over that I’m not a strong runner, which is false. … I’m a special back, and I know I am.”

Besides questions about his power, there are some concerns about Gordon’s ability as a receiver and in pass protection. But it’s not like the guy stinks. It doesn’t matter what system you’re in — if teams are lining up 10 in the box to stop you, and you still nearly break Barry Sanders’ single-season rushing record, you’re doing something right.

While most consider Gurley to have a higher ceiling, there is a major factor in Gordon’s favor. He’s had a mostly clean injury history. Gurley is five months removed from a torn ACL.

Gurley could very well back up the hype that surrounds him. And if he’s still around when the Panthers are on the board at No. 25, general manager Dave Gettleman may immediately turn in his draft card with Gurley’s name on it. But if running back 1A is gone, don’t be shocked if 1B — Gordon — is the guy Carolina calls.

So we might draft a certain player.  Or maybe not

 

“I’m a playmaker. I can run the ball up the middle. I can run it outside. I can run the ball from the gun. I can do it all. I can catch the ball and make some plays; I’ve done it. … I think guys just automatically assume because I’m not 230 and I’m not straight bulldozing guys over that I’m not a strong runner, which is false. … I’m a special back, and I know I am.”

 

Thats a lot to print on the back of his jersey.

      Tom Pelissero: Ejiro Evero name to watch when coaching cycle commences

      By SteveSmithTD89 · Posted

      Respectfully, I completely disagree. Last year we were:  32nd in Sacks. 32nd in Turnovers.  32nd in Rushing TDs allowed  29th in Scoring.  We were absolutely atrocious on defense last year and that was with a full stable of weapons in Derek Brown, Frankie Luvu and Brian Burns that played all 17 games.  Using yards per game as a metric to guage our success lacks the context that because our offense was so inept teams were not driving the length of the field, they were starting at their 40-50 yard line.  This year, our Defense ranks:  31st in Sacks. Tied for 19th in Turnovers  31st in Rushing TDs allowed 32nd in Scoring  His defense fails to get pressure, fails to turn the ball over and fails to stop the run. Three things you absolutely have to do to be successful in the NFL.  Denver meanwhile has not missed a beat without him.  If another team wants to hire him as a HC and the Panthers get two 3rds for it I'll wish him the best and pack his bags myself.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Ah, the ol Cam Newton hating.  I will give you credit, the week of pretending to be a Daniel Jones super fan is a very clever way to disguise your hatred of Cam.
