Let's play pick two running backs

[Toker Smurf]

CAP and Wegher. Fozzy isn't an every down back. We need to see if either of the other two can be or if they can at least share the load in 2017,  when Stew is gone.

[SOJA]

This really depends on how much Wegher has progressed since last year and even at that - it's probably not fair to judge him at this point 

Gun to my head I'd guess Wegher gets the boot

Either way- I see us using a 1st or 2nd round pick on a RB next year.

Fozzy is the best back on our team at picking up blitzes. I'd keep him and CAP.

[Khaki Lackey]

Until our RB stable has a cool nickname, I shan't play this game. 'Tis a silly one.

I'm not keeping him to just play ST

Somebody has to play special teams.  You realize special teams players exist right? He makes 680k a year.

CAP and Wegher were old rookies, they'll both be 26 this season while Fozzy will be 27. I'm not sure any of them have a whole lot of room to grow. I'd guess Fozzy and CAP would be the 2 in this scenario, though I'm rooting for Wegher (I could also see them keeping all of them). I also think Devon Johnson is interesting as a RB/FB hybrid, as we haven't had a true, punishing FB in awhile.

Foz and Weg. I don't think that CAP is a true Panther. He just got arrested, doesn't seem part of the RB room socially

Fozzy is the safest of the 3 based on 2015. He was the only ST guy (whos the other kickoff guys to supplant him). Best guy out of the backfield for screens and a better blocker than CAP or Wegher. If they find a guy on the roster (excluding tolbert or stewie) or off the street who can do those 2 things better out of the backfield, then he will be gone.

 

 

Between CAP and Wegher, I like the Wegher story but he needs to show that can come against at least 2s if not 1s. CAP showed he can go against that level and be serviceable. Now his huge knock so far: hold onto the ball. If he focus on that he will be hard to displace as the long term guy.

 

So for now status quo

Fozzy and CAP. Subject to FA and camp obviously.

Wildcard: Devon Johnson, our UDFA. I'm calling it now, he's going to surprise some people. He's an absolute beast with spead and size 

[Kevin Greene]

Seriously keep the two that play the best in camp and preseason so this is to be determined. We need someone who shows they can hold onto the ball, and equally importantly pick up a blitz to protect the Franchise while also demonstrating your expected RB skills.

But I hope Getts watches the NFL wires very closely as I'd like to see a proven Vet on a one or two year contract added to the roster.

[TheRed]

Will all the people saying CAP give him a free pass when he puts the ball on the ground again?

Not likely.

[GoobyPls]

Fozzy will make since he's our main kick retuner, has more experience is the only home run threat coming out the backfield.

 

I think CAP beats out Wegher  

[motocross_cat]

To be clear i think every one agrees that the position should be upgraded next year.

Lots of good backs coming out.

I wish jstew was 5 years younger and could have a healthy carrer...my god what could have been.

Aren't you assuming that he isn't socially with the other RBs? Like damn where did you get that info?
