Wegher Love Goes Here

[Chaos]

I throw my love in the hat.  I'm all aboard the W trifecta train - Webb, Ward, Wegher

[pantherclaw]

I'd  cut fozzy, brockel. 

Stew, Cap, Wegher, Todman

Todman's value on Special Teams is going to make it difficult to cut him. 

[Toker Smurf]

Didn't have the long run I predicted but 2 TDs will suffice.  I love watching him bounce it outside.

It's fuging crazy how much better he is than everyone else on the field

It would be a shame and a detriment to the team not to let him try some work with the 1s and the 2s next week. Let's face it, no other running back even came close to his production. Stewart and Tolbert played to avoid injuries, CAP was meh, Fozzy wasn't much to write home about and Todman was okay.

 

Personally, given the injuries we've already had, I'm VERY glad Stewart & Tolbert (and Cam too, for that matter, with not trying to punch it in at the goal line) were playing to avoid injuries.  We REALLY can't afford to lose any other starter on offense with KB out.

Fozzy wouldn't even be in this discussion if he hadn't made the team last year when the competition wasn't nearly this good. 

His running style is the most finesse of all the backs while Todman and Wegher have the same speed.

If he doesn't get to start or at least play with the starters what was the  point of bringing him?  Great you scored on 3rd stringers.  We  can't really evaluate  him fully  just yet.

From Mini Camp. 

This is the guy I think will be a great  surprise ..  It appears he had some personal problems he needed to deal with,, and then found his way back to football and  being  a good person.

UNDRAFTED BUT UNDAUNTED: While many observers were most excited about seeing the Panthers' five draft picks in action this weekend, coaches got an equally valuable opportuity to see the team's 10 undrafted college free agents up-close for the first time.

Journeyman running back Brandon Wegher was among those making a good first impression.

"I think Brandon Wegher is going to be a nice diamond in the rough," Rivera said. "He's got some potential and ability. He has a nice skill set.

"I think he and (fifth-round draft pick Cameron) Artis-Payne are two young guys that will give us a good showing at running back going through training camp."

Wegher broke the NAIA rushing record with 2,610 yards at Morningside College in his native Sioux City, Iowa, last season. He played there for two years after being out of football for three seasons following a standout freshman season at Iowa, capped with 113 rushing yards in an Orange Bowl victory.

"After being a freshman in the Big Ten, I had to go backwards a little bit, but the NFL finds you wherever you are," Wegher said. "If you have talent and you belong in this league, they'll find you."

Holy cow Wegher is a mad man. At 4:52 he just dove to the pylon from the 6 yard line!!!

[Mr.Ponche]

First thing I notice from his highlight reel is how many huge runs he had from hand-offs out of the shotgun position. Def.things that make you go hmmm.

Probably all old news to everyone on this site, but maybe not.

So he's got a checkered past. Hopefully it's all still there...in the past. I'd love to see him make the team. 

[juliosantos]

i want him to get first string reps this guy can be someone ! stewart looked like dog poo . i think hes just going through the motions of preseason . cap looked real good as well 

[Ruff]

I'd be okay with releasing Fozzy and Tolbert and keeping Stewart, CAP, Todman, and Wegher.

I know the sample size is small at the Division 1 collegiate level, but this kid has literally dominated at every turn. At this point I believe the sky is the limit for him....he needs to be challenged.
