Panthers choose Fozzy over Todman

[davos]

The smallest back is the best pass blocker?

How can you be so completely wrong?

 

Well he arguably is.  I don't know what you're implying. 

There's a lot of stupid in this thread.

Size is not the determining factor in blocking. Its technique.

Please go back and watch how good Fozzy is at picking up the blitz.

Dunno where people are getting this idea that Fozzy has more experience than Todman....

Todmans got more time in the league and is younger(and has more stats obv)

Basically the same type of player...Fozzy made it since he was here last year not because he's better..if the situation was reversed then Todman would have made it...that's the way our team goes.  It's a close call though...it's not like one is miles better than the other but I would have went with Todman.

I think the team sees Todman and Wegher as similar style players and Fozzy as a complement to that.

Todman is just another guy.  This is not a big deal.

The KR position became moot when they moved the kickoff up and got rid of the wedge.

[Panthro]

We have some inexpensive backups. That will help when we trade for Emmanuel Sanders

[arbnranger]

Fozzy and Wagner are basically the same player. 

What about Forest Whittaker.

Sounds like you are very familiar with making this type of argument

What about Forest Whittaker. 

His 40 time stinks.

I would have preferred Todman to Whittaker (just think he brings a bit more speed and versatility), but I'm not broken up over it. Stew and CAP are going to get the majority of the carries anyway. My guess is the staff valued Fozzy's familiarity of the playbook given how we're hurting at WR.
