Do we have reliable back up RBs?

JStew is balling out, Tolbert is balling out. 

Outside of those guys, are Fozzy, Wehger, and CAP capable of helping carry the load as the season winds down?

I don't have stats, but I feel like everything time we take out stew and throw in one of those guys, we are not moving the ball as well.  Am I wrong?

Can't really make any kind of determination; Wehger hasn't been active all season, and CAP has not been active for many games. When he has been, he hasn't gotten touches. I really thought that we'd see more of him with Rivera saying that he wants to rest Stew. Ass for Fozzie...not sure if we're just not using him as we should or if he's a mediocre RB. he has his role as a change of pace back, but I would like to see him doing more.

I think CAP is the future of this team, but man I should would have liked to seen more of him by now.  I've always felt that J-Stew splitting carries with DWill was bad, as Stew gets stronger the more carries he gets.  Still, we need to see what CAP is capable of so if we need to call on him down the stretch, he's not just getting his feet wet late in the season.  I'm a bit surprised by those tactics.

I'm not ready to call Fozzy bad yet. He does ok in garbage time. Broke some big runs last year, and got 3 ypc on his 2 carries yesterday. Can never really tell with a guy until he's "the guy". 

Really hoping we can keep the momentum going, and that the other teams keep falling short. If we can lock up the 1 spot in the NFC with 1 game, or even 2 to go, we will get to see what Fozzy and CAP are made of. The Falcons, and maybe the Bucs, will still be shooting for wild card spots, and will likely play us tough.

Panthers made both Wehger and Cap inactive and when Stew took the cheap hit to the knee I thought he was done for the game.  Really would have changed the day.

Props to Stewart for toughing it out (something he has taken some heat here for) and having another great game.  But looks like Bersin was activated instead of CAP.  Yes, Bersin had a big first down for us but all of our "no-name" WR's played well.

Fozzy is getting the nod because of special teams play and his past success with screens.  CAP needs to take note and practice harder in ST drills to get on the field if RR is going to continue to dress 2 RB's and Tolbert.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
