How old is this guy?

On a related note, is this gonna be Stewarts last season as a Panther?  Kinda hope so

[imminent rogaine]

I feel like we have a good squad but I've always liked Thomas and Bradshaw. Thomas seems fairly reliable. I wouldnt mind having him on hand for J-stews toe/ankle injury. The only problem with Bradshaw is that his feet are made of glass.. doesn't make sense to back up and oft-injured guy with another guy that can't stay on the field.

Cameron Artis-Bring Tha Mother Fuggin-Payne.. That is all.

People forget about Tolbert who has carried the load in SD before. Tolbert and Fozz is a one two punch.

This guy is a beast. We have all seen him tear people up. The past 4 seasons he has had 50, 39, 77, and 45 receptions. He is an excellent third down running back, and is a respectable runner, averaging 5.1, 4.5, 3.7, and 4.9 YPC. In the past four seasons, he has missed 6 games. That's not bad at all.

 

This guy would step in and form a committee made up of Stewart, Payne, Thomas. Payne is more of a thumper 1-2 down back, while Stewart and Thomas both are well rounded backs, Stewart is the stronger runner, and Thomas is the better receiver. The guy could be had cheap, and I think he would be a solid addition for us. He does everything you want out of a running back on 3rd down. He runs, catches, blocks. He's everything you want. 

 

I think signing Thomas would form an RB core that has has multiple forms of attacking the opposing defense and provides insurance behind Stewart. Imagine this roster if Stewart went down.

Not to be a Dave Gettleman here, but CJ2K is also a FA and could be had on the CHEEEEEEEEEAP.

[juliosantos]

[CoastalCat]

Minus the bullet hole in his shoulder

 

But a flesh-wound. These guys aren't running on their shoulders....and the game's not played in your underwear.

Outstanding

When, not if, Stewart goes down, I think we'll be able to get enough from Tolbert, CAP, and Fozzy to make up for it. Thomas would be nice but I'll file that one away as an unnecessary luxury.

Would you still hope so if he ends up with 1500+ yards this season? That's the pace he was setting last year when he came back. He's a good back. He just needs to stay injury free.

You motherfuggers!

I wish Thomas the best, even if he ends up in Charlotte. Dude is the ultimate competitor. His only knock his whole career is he gets knicked fairly often. One of the most underrated Saints of all time. I think he's still got a little left in the tank.

Gotta think at least 3 of those guys don't make it as is. Not sure there's room for another.
