USA Today: Cameron Artis Payne will be OROTY


Recommended Posts

Listen, unless Stew gets injured he's not getting benched with the kind of money he's making

Healthy he might not get benched but if CAP makes the most of his touches we may see a committee along the lines of DW and Stew in years past. It just doesn't make sense to take a back with with injury history and attempt to make him a bell cow for the whole season.

Apparently the USA writer is a Panther's fan.

 

CAP will not win OROY. That title belongs to Dorial Green-Beckham. In fact, CAP won't even be the best back drafted looking back, it will be Ajayi or Abdullah. Don't get me wrong, CAP will be a longtime starter and be the Stewart 2.0 we need him to be for many years, I just don't see him winning OROY. Lastly, I don't get the shiny new toy syndrome so many have on this board. We have a beast of a running back in Stewart. If he stays healthy all year, look for 1200 yards from him. Why would you hope he's benched?

Pretty sure I saw Ajayi was hurt.

Just because CAP had a great preseason doesn't mean Stewart is not a good back. In fact Stewart is top 10 RB. With a good line he is top 5 easily. 

So if CAP keeps rolling like he did in the preseason then awesome, but he isn't going to supplant Stewart. Only way is if Stewart gets hurt, which is highly likely.

I think one of the areas people will be frustrated isn't rolled out as fans should think will the RB spot this year.  I can imagine a potential overuse of Tolbert limiting CAP and it will frustrate the board.  That is..until Ron eventual starts using him more on our annual late season streaks. 

Last year with the OL we had just over 2,000 rushing yards.  I anticipate a little more around maybe 2,300 ish.

I'd love to see an end of year line around:

Stewart 1,000 yds - 8 tds

CAP 600 yds - 4 tds

Cam 400 yds - 6 tds

Wegher & Fozzy - 200 yds (Don't know who will be used more)

Tolbert - 100 yds (more utlity/short down stuff for him)
